DANIEL WINTERS.President

Pittsburgh, Pa.,
Monday, January 4th, 1926.
On Monday, January 4, 1926, at 10
o’clock A, M., the members-elect of the
Council of the City, of Pittsburgh, to¬
gether with those holding over, con¬
vened in the Council Chamber of said
City, in accordance with the provisions
of the Act of Assembly of the Com¬
monwealth of Pennsylvania, approved
May 31, 1911.
The council was called to order by
Robert Clark, City Clerk, who acted
as Chairman, Pro tern of the meeting.
The Chair presented
No. 1.
In the Court of Common Pleas of
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
County of Allegheny SS:
1, John Vogt, Prothonotary of the
Courts of Common Pleas in and for
the County and State aforesaid, do
hereby certify that at an election held
on the third day of November, A. D.
1925, James I*. Malone, Harry A. Iiittle,
John S. Herron, W. Y. English and
P. J. McArdle were duly elected to the
office of Council of the City of Pitts¬
burgh, County and State aforesaid.
Witness my hand and the seal of said
Court this eleventh day of December,
A. D. 1925.
JOHN VOGT,
Prothonotary.
(Seal of County cf Allegheny)
Which was read, received and filed.
And the following members-elect,
Messrs. Janies P. Malone, Harry A.
Iiittle, John S- Herron, W. Y, English
and P. J. McArdle arose in their
places and took the oath of office,
which was administered to them by
the City Clerk, Robert Clark.
The roll being called, the following
members responded to their names:
Present—Messrs.
Alderdice Little
Anderson Malone
English McArdle
Garland Winters
Herron
A quorum being in attendance, Coun¬
cil proceeded to the election of a Presi¬
dent.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. Chairman: I desire at this
time to place in nomination for the
position of President of this body a
gentleman w’ho has had considerable
experience as a presiding officer, who
is thoroughly conversant with the par¬
liamentary usages that govern it, who
is familiar with the rules and has the
courage to enforce them when neces¬
sary ; a gentleman whom I have at
times opposed on matters of policy;
but, as I look back, there Is very lit¬
tle cause for complaint on anything
that he has ever done as a presiding
officer.
T feel that he will continue in the
future as he has in the' past,—conduct
himself in a manner that will reflect
credit not only upon himself, but upon
this council.
I am familiar with the duties that
devolve upon the presiding officer and
I know something of his trials and re¬
sponsibilities, and I know just what it
means to have that responsibility, and
1
I, therefore, take a great deal of pleas¬
ure in presenting t'hs name of Daniel
Winters for President of Council.
Mr. Alderdice arose and said:
Mr. Chairman: I deem it a
privilege and a pleasure to second the
nomination of Mr. Winters. Ever since
I have known Mr. Winters, I have
always found him to be fair and -
honest in his dealings with his fellow-
men; since my induction into council I
have always found him to be fair to
each and every member of council; to
the people of Pittsburgh and the city
administration. I, therefore, take
pleasure in seconding the nomination
of Mr. Winters.
Mr. Malone moved
That the nominations close on
the name of Daniel Winters. Which
motion prevailed.
And the result of the voting was as
follows: •
FOR DANIEL WINTERS:
Messrs,
Alderdice Herron
Anderson Little
English Malone
Garland McArdle
When the name of Mr. Winters was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. Chairman: I vote for Mr.
Herron.
And Mr. Daniel Winters received
eight votes.
And Mr. John S. Herron received one
vote.
And Mr. Daniel Winters, having re¬
ceived a majority of the votes of coun¬
cil, was declared duly elected President
for the ensuing term.
The Chair (Mr. Clark) said:
I appoint Mr. Herron and Mr.
Alderdice to escort the President-elect
to the Chair,
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Gentlemen of Council, Ladies
and Gentlemen: I take pleasure in pre¬
senting to you the newly elected Presi¬
dent Of Council, Daniel Winters.
Mr. Winters arose and said:
Gentlemen of Council, I^adies
and Gentlemen: I think you know that
I appreciate very highly the honor con¬
ferred upon me this morning and the
spirit in which it has been done. The
presidency of council carrie.s no further
responsibility, in a sense, than being a
member of council. Each and every
other member of council has equal
rights and responsibility with the Presi¬
dent. We have nine members of coun¬
cil, and one is chosen as the presiding
officer; and, therefore, the Presidency
of this great municipality is a distinct
honor and a privilege, which I appre¬
ciate. I also appreciate very highly the
kind words Mr. Herron said in nomi¬
nating me, and also the kind words
uttered by my very good friend, Mr.
Alderdice, in seconding that nomina¬
tion.
My re-election bespeaks a disposition
on the part of the members of council
to be united at this time on policies
for the good of Pittsburgh.
However, I might call attention to
the fact that my election is no different
today than it was two years ago when
I was elected unanimously. So I wish
to convey to the members of council
my thanks for this privilege of again
serving them as their presiding officer;
and I assure you that I appreciate the
spirit in which it is done. This occa¬
sion recalls to me something of what
I said four years ago when elected to
this position. I said then that I would
to tlie utmost try to administer my
duties with fairness and impartiality.
I shall treat each and every one of you
in a manner in which a presiding officer
should, and in the heat of debate I feel
sure that if any mistakes are made by
me that they are of the head and not
of the heart.
I want to say, among other things,
that the north side of the river, which
ha.s been without representation in
council for the past two years, is now
very well and ably represented by one
of her favorite sons, Harry A. Little,
who has shown upon this and other
occasions that he has a great number
of friends in that section of the city.
Might I call attention of the people of
the North Side to the fact that if there
may have been some dissatisfaction
over the lack of representation In city
affairs, it has been dissipated by the
fact that, with Mr. Little in Council
and the appointment of the Director of
the Department of Public Works Ed-
• ward G. Lang from that community,
and the City Controller coming from
that section, that they are well and
ably represented in the city govern¬
ment. We will induct into office today
a new Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.
This is the first time in the history
of Pittsburgh that we have a Mayor
and Council elected without formidable
opposition, and naturally this situation
will give the new administration an
opportunity for co-operation in the best
interests of the city. I am sure that
this will have quite an influence in
disposing of the affairs of the city.
The policies of the Mayor will be
shortly outlined to the council when he
is inaugurated at 12;DO Noon, the time
prescribed by law.
The powers of the Mayor and the
council should be respected by each
other. Each has its own prerogatives
and powers, given to them by the Leg¬
islature of the State, and I know that •
if each is respectful and considerate of
their responsibilities and prerogatives,
we shall have an efficient administra¬
tion of the affairs of the city govern¬
ment.
Councl bears a great responsibility.
Tliey must confirm the appointments
of the Mayor for the heads of the
various governmental departments. They
are responsible for the number of em¬
ployees and the wages paid them, and
they are responsible for the tax rate.
Let me say, at this time, with the
growing demands upon the city and
the modern requirements of govern¬
ment, that expenses necessarily mount.
We cannot listen to the demands of the
citizens for increases in the number of
employees in the police department;
added appropriations for playgrounds
and swimming pools and better streets
and all those things we are asked to
do, and maintain an organization to
carry them on, without some increase
in expenditures, so the council must
meet those responsibilities with the
Mayor; but it is largely upon the coun¬
cil these responsibilities rest, because
it is within the province of council,
that in case the tax levy and appro¬
priation ordinances meet with the veto
of the Mayor, to pass them over the
Mayor's veto by a* two-thirds vote.
Therefore, we must bear those respon-
.sibilities to the best of our ability and
stand ready and willing to defend our
position.
Council has among its members as
capable and efficient men as can be
found anywhere in the City of Pitts¬
burgh. There are among the members
of council, men who have served with
distinction for years, such as my
friend, Mr. Garland, who is the oldest
member of council in service, and
Chairman of the Finance Committee;
and Herron, J5nglish and McArdle, and
ail of our members that have served
from time to time and have been re¬
elected. T know you understand the
government, and the reasons and the
questions that relate to government, as
well as anyone else that takes part in
city affairs or talks about them.
We will be faced this year with pro¬
grams of great responsibility. We have
many public improvements yet uncom¬
pleted which were approved by the peo¬
ple in the bond issue of 1919 because
of lack of sufficient finances to do the
work, largely due to under-estimating
of the cost. Those improvements are
to be paid for by the people; they
voted for them, and should have them.
They cannot be completed until addi¬
tional money is voted by the people to
carry them out. It is contemplated
this year to submit to the people of
Pittsburgh a bond issue along the lines
submitted by the Citizens’ Committee
on City Plan and various trade bodies
that are interested in civic govern¬
ment of Pittsburgh; and upon council
will rest the responsibility of the
amount that the bond issue shall con¬
tain and the need and importance of
the different items that go to make it
up. And so that we shall have a
great responsibility in that way of
carrying on the program of contem¬
plated improvements which finally must
receive (no matter who recommends
them) the approval of the majority of
the members of council Tvho put them
into actual practice, and we must go
before the people from time to time to
answer for our stewardship and answer
for the policy that we follow in these
matters.
I do not want to take up much more
of your time, except to say, with the
friendly harmonious relations that ex¬
ist with the Mayor of today, and the
knowledge and belief that he under¬
stands the position of council and he
will treat the members of council with
courtesy and consideration that are
due them, I am sure that so long as he
does that, the members of council will
treat him likewise. The situation that
may exist from time to time, by reason
of the fact that it takes two to make
an argument, and if we are careful of
the rights of one another and sit
down in friendly conference, there is
no question in my mind of the success
of this administration and of the pop¬
ular gentleman who has been elected
by the people of the City of Pittsburgh
to hold the important office of Mayor
for the next foiir years
I want to express my regret, in a
sense, in the passing out of this body
of a man who has always been care¬
ful and considerate of the requirements
of his position, and who served with
credit and distinction. I regret that
Wallace Borland is leaving council,
but I also rejoice that the new Mayor
has given him a high place In his cab¬
inet, that of Treasurer of this city.
3o 1 say, gentlemen, we will begin
to proceed with the business of this
council with an understanding of our
duties and relations to the affairs of
the city and to remember always that
the seat of government in the City of
Pittsburgh is in the City Hall; and,
3
with that view in mind, I am sure that
we shall have an era of political, in¬
dustrial and civic prosperity for the
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen of Council, Ladies and Gen¬
tlemen: We have had some members
wlio were re-baptized this morning—
one, in an original sense, and the
others who have been here before, and
I am sure that the friends of the new
councilman from the North Side will
be glad to have a word from our new
representative that w'e welcome to our
body, Harry A. Little from the North
Side.
Mr. Xilttle arose and said:
Mr. President, Gentlemen of
Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: First
of all, 1 want to congratulate you, Mr.
President, upon your re-election to the
presidency of this body. I want to
thank all my friends for the splendid
support they gave me at the last pri¬
mary and general election, and I will
try to justify the confidence they be¬
stowed in me,
I want, at this time, to publicly ex¬
press my very keen regrets that my
good friend, Wallace Borland, is retir¬
ing from this council, and I wish him
all the success in the world in his
new position.
I^adies and gentlemen, this is the
happiest moment of my life, to be
taken into this council in the greatest
city in the world, and with God's help I
will never do anything which my fam¬
ily or my friends will be ashamed of.
It has been said that I am a repre¬
sentative to represent the North Side
in council. It is very true that I live
in that section of the city, and I am
very proud of that fact, and I would
like to say to those people who are so
unfortunate as not to live on the North
Side, that I fully realize that I have
been elected by the people of the
whole city, and therefore I will give
my best endeavor to the whole City of
Pittsburgh.
I believe in the complete co-opera¬
tion between the legislative and execu¬
tive branches of the city government;
and if Mayor Kline presents any poli¬
cies or measures which, to my mind,
are a benefit to Pittsburgh I will
support them, and if they are not
beneficial I will not support them, re¬
gardless of who may present them.
Mr. President, I cannot add anything
more, except to say that I will do all
in my power to make the City of
Pittsburgh a better place in which to
live. •
I thank you.
The Chair said:
Now, I am sure we will be
glad -to hear from a member who has
been re-elected with an overwlielming
vote by the people of the city, Mr,
James F. Malone.
Mr. Malone arose and said;
Mr. President, Ladies and Gen¬
tlemen: I appreciate the opportunity
of publicly thanking the people for the
confidence they placed in me at the
last election, and reiterate the pledge
1 made four years ago—that as long
as I am in this council I will endeavor
to give the people the best service
that I can give them.
The Chair said:
AVe will now. hear from Mr.
Herron.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gen¬
tlemen: Mr. Malone made a very good
.speech, that is about the size of the
one I will make. I want to thank you
for giving me the opportunity to say
a few words. I thank the people for
the confidence they have again placed
in me. It Is an honor to become a
member of council, and it is a greater
honor to be re-elected,
I want to reiterate that I will en¬
deavor at all times to give not only
to you, but to Mayor Kline, all the
support I can. For the message you
delivered, there will be food for
thought for all to profit from.
The Chair said:
We will now hear from Mr.
English.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President: As my col¬
league on the right threatened to hold
his watch on me for fear I will make
a long speech I will keep a watch on
the time myself, as I do not Intend to
make a long speech.
I am fully aware, of the responsi¬
bility of my position as a member of
council. For the fourth time I have
been elected to ithe Council of Nine, and
previous to that I served as a mem¬
ber Of council of the City of Pittsburgh
as a repre.sentative of the Twentieth
Ward, when there was no pay attached
to the office and when we had our
meetings at night.
It is a matter of record that on
each occasion when I went before the
people a.s a candidate, the voters put
the stamp of approval upon my candi¬
dacy and gave freely of their votes.
I, therefore, feel deeply responsible to
4
the people of Pittsburgh for their con¬
tinued approval of my service.
The older I get, the more it seems
to me that we should stand up for
the Golden Rule policy, which, after
all, is about all we have left these
days.
All of us .should remember that we
are responsible to our Creator when we
meet Him in the final Judgment. We
should recall from day to day the
solemn obligations to which we sub¬
scribed when taking the oath of office.
We should; not engage in ahy con¬
spiracies or cabals to hurt the Mayor
or the City of Pittsburgh. We should
not be stubborn, but should submerge
our own desires so that the common
good of the whole City of Pittsburgh
and its people would be enhanced by
our efforts and work.
At previous inaugurations, when I
was sworn in as a member of council,
I stated that I would support the poli¬
cies of the Mayor when I thought they
were right and would oppose them
when I thought they were wrong, I
made that statement when Mayor Ann-
strong was inducted into office; I re¬
peated it when Mayor Babcock took
office; I repeated it when Mayor Magee
took office, and I repeat it today, Janu¬
ary 4, 1926, when the newly elected
Mayor, Honorable Charles H. Kline,
takes office.
All I -ask is an opportunity to pre¬
sent to council and the Mayor, for
their consideration, those things which
I deem of vital interest to the welfare
and happiness of the people of Pitts¬
burgh. I feel that I have the ability
and experience which will help to
make our city better.
If I am, given that opportunity,
which Mayor Kline has promised to
each and all of us, we start off the new
year with the thought of co-operation
in mind. ^If the new Mayor* keeps
his promise, as I intend to keep mine,
I can assure him of a wo-nderful ad¬
ministration and much satisfaction for
the people of Pittsburgh.
The Chair said:
Now, I am sure we will be glad
to hear from our retiring member,
Wallace Borland, Excuse me, I have
made a mistake already. I forgot to
call upon Mr. MoArdle. He has been
in council so long that I took It as a
matter of course that he belongs to
council. We will hear from Mr. P, J.
McArdle,
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President: If that is the
most serious mistake you make during
your encumbency of this office you and
I are going to get along fine,
I only want to say “Amen” to every¬
thing that has been said, except what
Mr. English said about holding his
watch; I do not think he did.
I want to thank the friends of Mr.
Malone who sent these flowers which I
have been hiding behind. I wish to
express my appreciation of the senti¬
ments that have been expressed as re¬
gards the outlook of this council, and
to publicly express my appreciation of
the confidence my fellow-citizens placed
in me by my re-election, and to pub¬
licly declare again that I shall do the
best I can to render a satisfactory
account of my official stewardship. I
thank you.
The Chair said:
Now we will have a word from
Mr. Borland.
Mr. Wallace Borland^ being given the
privilege of the floor, said:
Mr. President, Members of
Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: I want
to thank the President of Council and
the members of Council for the fine
showing that we have made these last
four years. I do not think there is a
member of council who is not friendly
to me. I wish to express to each and
every member of council my sincere
appreciation for the courtesies shown
me while a member of this body. I
want to take this opportunity of again
thanking the people of Pittsburgh for
electing me to the office of council,
and I want to say that I am kind of
sorry I am leaving. I thank you.
The Chair said:
Is there any other member of
council who wants to say something?
Mr, Alderdice.
Mr. Alderdice arose and said:
Mr. President, I have nothing
to say, except to welcome back the re¬
elected members of council and to
welcome the newly-elected member of
council, and I assure you that I will
do my best to live in harmony and
peace with the members of council.
The Chair said:
Has Mr, Anderson anything to
say at this time?
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President: I also wish to
welcome Mr. Little to this council, but
I am not unmindful of the retirement
of our good friend, Wallace Borland.
1 think the council is fortunate In hav¬
ing as good a man as Mr. Little re¬
place Mr. Borland,
4
I also wish to state that it has been
a pleasure this morning to eome here
and welcome the new member and the
four re-elected members. This is the
first time in the history of the city
that a condition as pleasant as this
has existed.
I assure you, each and every mem¬
ber of council who has been re-elected
and those who have retired from this
council since X became a member, that
I have not had a quarrel with any of
them. I felt sorry for them at times
because of my duty as a politician; I
had to go out and try to beat them,
and which I suppose I did my duty in
that line as well as anybody.
Let me say to the friends of Mr.
Little today, that it has been reported
within the past month or so that he
was the North Side councilman. I
want to say to his good friends who
are here today to do him honor that
Mr. liittle is a representative of all
the people, and representing all the
people, that means his requests are
doubly hard on him; and his friends
should realize that it will not always
be roses for Mr. Little. We will
have lots of trouble and he will have
to share it. The hard part is, that
he cannot grant all the requests which
will be asked, and representing all the
people, I wish his friends here this
morning will appreciate the efforts he
will put forth in their behalf, which
he cannot carry out. I assure you that
he will be a wonderful councilman if
he is granted at least ten per cent, of
the requests that are made of him.
The Chair said:
We will hear from Mr. Garland.
He is the oldest member of council at
the present time. He has been in
council since shortly after its organi¬
zation.
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, Members of
Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have
been referred to as perhaps the oldest
member in council. I believe I am the
only grandfather in council. I want
to correct the statement made by our
newly-elected member, Mr. Little, when
he said this was the happiest moment
Of his life. I know that he is mistaken
when he utters such a statement. It
was only a slip of the tongue. It is a
happy moment, but not the happiest.
I want to join the others in welcom¬
ing the re-elected members and the
newly-elected member of council. I
realize that we will get along. We are
entering into a career where everything
looks so auspicious and harmonious. It
is not necessary for me to say that
we will be for those things that appeal
to us and against those that we be¬
lieve are wrong. Let us hope that
nothing will come in here that is
wrong. The time really looks auspi¬
cious, and I am very glad to be here
and join the others in these senti¬
ments and express my happiness.
I am glad, Mr. President, you have
been re-elected President of this body.
You have presided over the delibera¬
tions of this body with dignity and re¬
spect, and I will be glad to work un¬
der you.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President: I just want to
call your attention to the fact that
there are two former Mayors present—
Hon, Joseph G. Armstrong and Hon. E.
V, Babcock—and a former president of
council, Dr. J. P. Kerr. I thought it
might be a nice time to have an ex¬
pression from them.
The Chair said:
We will be glad to hear from
Mayor Babcock. I could not see him
behind the flowers.
Hon. E, V. Babcock, being given the
privilege of the floor, said:
Mr. President and Members of
Council: I do not feel that it is right
for me to take your time now, although
I am thankful to Mr. Malone and the
Chair for this opportunity to say a few
words to you. This is as nice and
dignified an audience that has ever
appeared in this council chamber, and
it is a pleasure to address them.
Were I to try to say anything worth
while, I would hesitate after the re¬
marks made by the Chair which I
heard. I do not see how anyone could
say more ^worth-while things than he
said. It is most pleasing that the
members of council are resolving to
work in harmony with the new ad¬
ministration, and I hope these re¬
solves will not be broken during your
terms of office.
The Chair said:
Is former Mayor Joseph G.
Armstrong present?
Mr. Malone said:
Mr. President, he left the room.
The Chair said:
I will call on a former presi¬
dent of council, who is responsible for
niy elevation to council, and you know
what a pleasure I have In calling upon
my friend, Dr. Kerr.
Dr. James P. Kerr, being given the
privilege of the floor, said:
Mr. President, Members of Coun¬
cil, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have not
made a speech for so long that I do
not know how to start. I just want
to say one or two words. That this
meeting: Is one of the nicest meetings
that has ever taken place in the new
City Hall. Where men can sit down
together harmoniously and see the good
qualities in each other and forget the
shortcomings. It means much to the
citizens of Pittsburgh. It means much
for the dispatch and efficiency of the
work of this organization. Everyone
knows that no great thing has been
accomplished through turmoil and ex¬
citement and through the bitter disre¬
gard of the rights of others. There¬
fore, I believe this is an occasion that
marks well for the City of Pittsburgh.
I am, of course, delighted to see my
friend again elevated to the presidency
of this council with the unanimous
vote and with the many beautiful
things that have been said here today.
The Chair said:
I do not see Mayor Armstrong
here. We will proceed with the busi¬
ness of council. Presentation of let¬
ters, memorials, resolutions and ordi¬
nances.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Malone presented
No. 21. Whereas, Our beloved
friend and teacher, Charles H. Kline,
was this day inaugurated Chief Magis¬
trate of the City of Pittsburgh; and
Wherea.s, We have received of his
bounty countless summer evenings on
the shores of old LAke Erie, and have
learned of the Redskins, and the early
settlers of America, and the traits and
customs Of the peoples of the world
over, and of their homes, and their
hopes, and their lives; and we have
heard of the tricks and fancies of
ghosts and witches and fairies that
roam the nether worlds; and well have
we heard the tales of this much-trav¬
eled and observing friend; therefore,
May we beg, in behalf of the many
young friends of the Lake, that the
President of Council and each city
father heed our prayer, which is this—
That you, in your kindness, allow no
civic burden to be placed on this Chief
Magistrate's shoulders that would pre¬
vent him from spending his summer
evenings at Pirl Beach, O., in order
that We may again hear his words of
AVisdom and his tale.s of the far be¬
yond.

The Chair said:
Members of Council, Ladies and
Gentlemen: It is a privilege and a
pleasure for me to introduce, at this
time, the Mayor of Pittsburgh, Hon,
Charles H. Kline.
Honorable Charles H. Bllne said:
IMr. President, Members of Council, and
Fellow-citizens:—
Living under our American form of
Government, wherein the citizenry is
endowed with the full electoral powers
as a final arbitrator of the destinies of
every political unit, there can come to
no man, a higher honor, nor greater
mark of esteem and confidence of the
citizens of any particular municipality,
than their mandate to administer their
public affairs a.s their Chief Magistrate
and Executive.
To me, therefore, this is the proudest
moment of my life, but. moderating my
joy in this occasion, there is also a
sober realization, that to those fellow-
citizens. who have honored me, I have
assumed no light obligation, but a great
and grave responsibility.
To have been chosen by the people of
this great City as its Mayor by such
an overwhelming majority of its voters,
and to have elected with me, a majority
of its Council, publicly pledged to the
same municipal policies, leaves little
room for any of us to escape the re¬
sponsibilities for any failure to carry
out these policies, upon our advocacy,
of which we were made the choices of
the people. The principles on which I,
ns a candidate, won the nomination of
my Party for this great office, when
pubMcly proclaimed as my policy are
llie same policies to which the Repub¬
lican Party and myself, and you, as its
candidates, stand pledged to the voters
of Pittsburgh.
To the carrying out of the.se policies.
1 shall give every energy that lies
within me, and 1 know you gentlemen
will give your fullest support towards
thi« realization. To that public proc¬
lamation of policy, upon which we
.stood as candidates, 1 have little or
nothing to add today.
It shall be my purpose, so far as the
finances of the City shall permit, and
so far as the citizens may further pro¬
vide needed financial resources, that this
administration will promptly and vig¬
orously prosecute to completion, pend¬
ing public improvements, for which the
authority has been given by the people
and the Council, and it will be my duty
in case the financing power is not suf¬
ficient to carry out this imogram lo
come to you and to all the people w^hom
all of us represent, for authority fjr
such further expenditure as may he
needed to da these things in a manner
that will reflect credit on our great city.
It remains my intention to bring
about a more spontaneous and prompt
co-operation with the great County of
Allegheny in the carrying out of the
wonderful program of public improve¬
ments which its officers are prose¬
cuting and for which its people have
voted funds. There shall be no more
spragging of the wheels of progress
in this respect by any rnuniclpal
agency over which 1 may nave ceiitj-ol.
There are many public projects that
are needed, for the betterment of our
City, for the opening of the paths to
future growth and prosperity, and for
the enjoyment and recreation of our
citizens, which are included in the
program. It is my hope that wo shall
be able to formulate a progressive pro¬
gram that will provide for these things
and for others that may come up. in
harmony, unanimity, and that so united
we should not fear to go to the people,
for any further needed authority to
carry out and inaugurate such projects
as will work out for the Improvement
and beautification of our City,
The rapid growth of Pittsburgh and
ihe geographical limitations placed on
us by our location, have combined to
render it difficult for our City to ade-
fjiiately provide recreational facilities
which are required for her citizens
and in particular for the rising genera¬
tion, Tt is time that the City becomes
interested in a, well-thought out, com¬
prehensive permanent policy, to meet
our needs in this respect. If we arc
to attract the best type residents, we
must provide the opportunities for out¬
door enjoyment, which mean so much
to the morals and health of our peo¬
ple. Pittsburgh is far behind in the
matter of golf courses, baseball fields,
and recreational grounds, and she has
neglected the opportunity to develop
bathing beaches along her rivers. It
may be necessary to go outside of the
City limits to provide for some of
these things. It does not seem incon-
grous, in view of our condition, that
the City should invest money to pro¬
vide outing spots and fields for out¬
door exercises beyond our gates. Alle¬
gheny County has many natural beauty
spots along its system of improved
highways. To some of these every
citizen should be welcome, and in .some
of them they should feel a proprietary
interest, that, can only come from
municipal ownership and control. Let
us do our duty in this respect, without
fear or hesitation and ask our people
to give us such authority for expendi¬
ture in this line as may be deemed
wise.
From every employe of this gie.at
City in all positions, it shall be iny
purpose to ask and require loyal, faith¬
ful and efficient service, and oo-opera-
tion with the other, so that we shall
improve the public service, and so that
we shall bring home to each employe
of this City the sense of individual
responsibility for the successful exe¬
cution of the tasks that are commit¬
ted to him, as a servant of the people
of Pittsburgh. In return, I shall stand
back of all of them, and endeavor to
procure or maintain wage and salary
standards that will fairly com'pensate
them for what they are giving their
City in loyal and faithful service. To
those employes who are reaching the
term of service, where they may rea¬
sonably expect to retire, under the
pension system, you and I owe an.
especial consideration, which we should
not ignore. The reasonable expecta¬
tions of these employes, based on our
pension laws, should be realized, and
no narrow consideration of any de¬
scription, should be permitted to work
out an injustice to any individual
employe, in this particular respect.
The public moneys must bo safe¬
guarded. It will be my aim to see
that the taxpayers of this community
shall receive honest value for every
tax-dollar, not only from the employes
of the City, but from those agencies
which under contract provide service
and materials, or are engaged in other
public projects of this City.
Pittsburgh has come to be an exten¬
sive center of art and education. IVe
have great universities and schools
within our borders. We have with us
thousands of young people, the very
flower of youth, from the surrounding
region, who are seeking in these in¬
stitutions the proper preparation for
life. We have our own thousands upon
thousands of growing children, and
youth, to whom we owe more than
the mere opportunity and mechanics of
the school. '
The City must act "in loco parentis"
in the guarding of their lives, outside
the school room, from any avoidable
contact with crime and vice and all
the things which tend to degenerate
the mind and body.
Our City must be made safe* at
every hour of the day and night and
in every nook and corner of this City,
for every man, woman and child. The
property of our citizens must be safe¬
guarded against the danger of fire and
theft, and the lives of our people and
those who sojourn with us must be
protected from the criminal and from
those degrading' .influences which so
often find footholds in a great city. To
this end we must improve our depart¬
ment of Public Safety and we must
eliminate from our protective system
any partnership between enforcers of
the law and those who seek to evade
and violate. It is my fixed purpose to
destroy the slightest vestige or semb¬
lance of agreement or collusion, be¬
tween our police force and the agen¬
cies of crime and vice, and no consider¬
ation will be allowed to stand between
any paid protector of the lives and
property of our citizens and immedi¬
ate punishment for any volation of
this principle. I am determined to
secure an active, intelligent, and effi¬
cient administration for this depart¬
ment.
Pittsburgh cannot stand still; she
must progress. We must add not only
to the number of our industries but to
their diversity. We must attract new
industries, we must encourage those
that we have. We must make the City
the logical City for the establishment
of new mills and factories, which will
give employment to our people, and to
that end we must co-operate with the
civic, commercial and trade bodies in
a more practical way than has hereto¬
fore been attempted by the City as a
municipality.
There is no more fertile field for
planning work, looking towards the
growth of Pittsburgh in a material
way, than that offered by the develop¬
ment of our river facilities. Pitts¬
burgh must get to work immediately to
prepare herself for the day that is
coming, in the matter of water trans¬
portation. Within the next four years
and possibly within the next two years,
canalization of the Ohio River will be
completed and all year river transporta¬
tion will be knocking at our doors,
seeking an entrance. The coming
growth of this important transporta-
tion field has already been forecasted
in the recent decision of the Federal
Bargre Lines, which are operating on
the Mississippi River, to extend their
service to the Ohio River Valley,
terminating at Pittsburgh, For this,
we must prepare. We must have
terminal facilities from which barge
loads may be transferred to the rail¬
road and our warehouses and distribu¬
ting agencies. For this we need ex¬
tensive acreage, if possible, within our
City limits. It takes a train of fifty
cars to remove the contents of one
river barge, and one steamer will bring
to our doors a dozen or more of these
harges at one time. The necessity for
making complete preparation for this
coming traffic should be apparent to
every business man and I know that
it is realized by you gentlemen of
Council.
In the working out of the great
problems of the City, such as are in¬
volved in the matter of river-rail
terminal facilities and in the con¬
struction of great improvements that
are planned, the City has need for
careful consideration as to the effect
these things will have upon the traffic
arteries. In order that we may not
have still further congestion in our
streets and thoroughfares, the fullest
utilization should be made of the
abilities and the energies represented,
not only upon the City’s official bodies,
such as the traffic and transit depart¬
ments but upon the planning commis¬
sions of the City, the County and the
Citizens Committee. I shall invite and
expect their aid in the solution of these
problems, which mean so much to the
Pittsburgh of the future.
To put Pittsburgh where she be¬
longs, far up towards the top of Amer¬
ican Municipalities, we need not only
the fullest co-operation between the
units of the City Government and be¬
tween the City Government and the
citizens, but inspiring in all of us
the determination to build her into the
greatest of inland cities on this conti¬
nent. Let us pull together to this end
and let us frown and give battle to any
one who would besmirch the fair name
of Pittsburgh, or who would retard
the march of our progress for selfish
or political purposes. We have had
enough of such and more than enough
in the past. Let us now go forward
united, the Mayor, the Council and the
citizens to make the Pittsburgh of to¬
morrow the greater and fairer Pitts¬
burgh of our dreams.

J-. Hayes, Superintendent of Parochial

Also
No. 131. WHEREuVS, The ques¬
tion of the liability of the Parochial
Schools, Churches, and Ck>nvents for
water rents has been In litigation for
a considerable number of years past,
claim being made that such School.s,
Churches, and Convents are objects of
purely public charity, and therefore
exempt from liens for water rents;
and,
WHEREAS, The litigation resulted
in a decision by the Superior Court
of Pennsylvania that the City had the
right to file such liens, the Act of
1901 and its supplements of 1915,
which exempted such organizations, be¬
ing unconstitutional in this respect;
and,
WHEREAS, The Council of the City
of Pittsburgh, on March 15, 1919, pass¬
ed an ordinance, which was approved
by the Mayor, authorizing the free use
of water for the Parochial Schools to
the amount of 2500 gallons per pupil
per annum; and,
WHERE/\S. On account of the liti¬
gation referred to, the exemptions were
not taken advantage of by the several
schools, and the total amount of the
water consumed, as shown by meters
in the schools, has been charged by
the City and entered as liens against
the several .schools and churches. The
amount of 2,500 gallons per pupil per
year, of free water, is more than suf¬
ficient to cover all the water used In
said schools, therefore there would
really be no liability for said schools
since the said date of March 15, 1919,
for water rents. The total amount of
the assessments for water rents against
the schools and churches above referred
to, is $26,619.35, as follows:

occasions during the past few years,
persons officially representing the Aero

the Chamber of Commerce, persons and
oiticlals of high standing in the United
States Army Air Service, appeared be¬
fore the members of Council and the
Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, and
the Commissioners of the County of
Allegheny, In behalf of the institution
of an aerial field In the vicinity of
Pittsburgh; and
WHEREAS, Many hearings were held
by the City Council, at which persons
mentioned above and many other per¬
sons were present, and represented to
the Members of Council that Pittsburgh
should provide a field for aeroplanes,
and telling Council that it would be
necessary to provide such a field if
Pittsburgh was ever to expect aerial
mail service; and,
WHEREAS, Practically all of the
persons who appeared among the great
numbers, in behalf of this project,
were verj*^ insistent that the only
available field that could be made
useable, was the McRohert’s Farm,
north of Aspinwall, and Council was
Informed that if this field was pur¬
chased, that the Government would
lend every assistance to make it a
regular landing field and that we could
expect In the future, not only the use
of the field by the Army, but that it
would be the proper place for the
Aerial Mall Service and possibly com¬
mercial air service; and,
WHEREAS, After all these pleas
by those various persons and organi¬
zations, including the Aero Club of
Pittsburgh, the Citj^ of Pittsburgh and
the County of Allegheny did purchase
and grade and put in p^’oper shape

son, President of the Philadelphia
Company. Pittsburgh, has made state¬
ments that Pittsburgh could produce
electricity for light purposes as cheap

light is a great factor in guiding fly¬
ers to aerial landing places, and as
the main line of the Aerial Mall Ser¬
vice Is not more than Forty (40) miles
from the City-County Landing Field,
north of Aspinwall; and,
WHEREAi?, Numerous articles have
appeared In the Pittsburgh newspapers
during the past week that a branch
service of the Aerial Alall Service is
to bo established between Cleveland
and McKeesport; it is
RESOLVED, That the Mayor and
Members of Council of the City of
Pittsburgh believe that before any
aerial mail service is instituted for
Pittsburgh on a branch line between
McKeesport and Cleveland, a very defi¬
nite investigation should be made as
to whether or not aerial mail service
could not be instituted in Pittsburgh
by a connection between the City-
Couuty Field, north of Aspinwall, and
the main line of the Aerial Mail Ser¬
vice, which crosses over Butler Coun¬
ty, thereby putting r*ittsburgh in di¬
rect contact with the service both
east and west; and, it is further
RESOLA^ED, That the Mayor of the
City of Pittsburgh ask the Commis¬
sioners of the County of Allegheny to
join with the City in an effort to se¬
cure this or any other service that will
put Pittsburgh with its City-County
Field on the direct Aerial Mail Ser¬

Board of Appeals,
Pittsburgh, Pa.,
January 23rd, 1926.
Hon. Daniel Winters,
President of Council,
City-County Bldg.,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear President Winters:—
We are advised that a petition has
been presented to the Council by the
owners of the former Peacock property
on North Highland avenue, requesting
an exoneration of taxes, on the basis
“that the old mansion house has been
vacant for almost three years” and
that ”it cannot be used in its present
condition, or converted to any use
whatsoever, on account of the Zoning
restrictions.”
We deem it advisable to notify you
that the above quoted statements are
not correct. This property, which Is
in a “B” Residence district, was used
prior to and after the passage of the
Zoning Ordinance as a boarding and
rooming house; that is, from May,
1923, to August. 1925. This is a non-
conforming use under the Zoning Ordi¬
nance, but by the terms of the ordi¬
nance such non-conforming use may be
continued, or changed to another non-
conforming use of the same or a higher
classification. In other words, under
the Zoning Ordinance this property
could have been used for any residen¬
tial purpose, Including apartments,
which are not permitted In “B” resi¬
dence districts under any other cir¬
cumstances.
The Board of Appeals was never
asked by the owner of this property
for a permit Involving any use thereof.
Had such an application been made,
the Board unquestionably would have
allowed a residential use of this prop¬
erty of the least restricted kind
allowed In the Zoning Ordinance. A
precedent has been established by the
Board of Appeals in the treatment of
large dwellings such as this, in the
case of the Ober property, in a “B”
residence district, at the Beacon street
entrance to Schenley Park, where a
permit was issued for the use of this
dwelling as an apartment.
In addition to th© foregoing, the
Morrison property on North Highland
avenue, near the Peacock property, and
very generally similar to It, was taken
over and developed by new owners
strictly in conformity with the *'B”
residence requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
We do not attempt to pass upon the
merits of the application for an ex¬
oneration of taxes in connection with
the former Peacock property, but feel
that you are entitled to know that we
believe there has been no destruction
of values in this particular instance
which can properly be chargeable to
the Zoning Ordinance.
Yours very truly,
Board of Appeals.

Pittsburgh,
January 25, 11926.
To the President and Members of
Council:
Gentlemen:
On Bill No. 161, An Ordinance grant¬
ing unto the American Reduction Com¬
pany the right to use land on Forbes
street under the viaduct of the Boule¬
vard of the Allies for an office and
driveway as long as the said property
is used as a garbage and rubbish dis¬
posal plant by the American Reduction
Company, I report as follows:
In answer to the letter directed to
Thomas M. Benner, City Solicitor, of
.January 20, 1926, relative to the ques¬
tion whether the ground to be occu¬
pied as described in the said odinance
Or bill is the same ground that was
considered in the settlement between
the City of Pittsburgh and the Ameri¬
can Reduction Co., will say that it is
the .same ground. In the recommenda¬
tion to Council for a settlement of the
claim at the Viewers’ award, there was
a provision made that the American
Reduction Co. should have a right-of-
way from its property to Forbes St.
under the Boulevard of the Allies. The
Ordinance is somewhat different, in
that no provision is made for a right-
of-way to Forbes street, but the en¬
trance to the Reduction Company's
driveway and office front on Brady
St., and it is the land occupied by the
office and driveway that is mentioned
and described in the Ordinance.
The claim for damages included the
taking of the property for the Boule¬
vard of the Allies and the placing of
the viaduct along the front of the
property remaining, which comes off
the Forbes St. frontage of the Ameri¬
can Reduction Co. property, which it
had prior to the widening of Forbes
Si. and the building of the viaduct of
the Boulevard of the Allies.
The terms and provisions of the
Ordinance are practically to the same
effect as the recommendation to coun¬
cil on which the agreement of settle¬
ment was made.
Respectfully,
THOMAS M. BENNER.
City Solicitor.
Which was read, received and filed,
and made part of the record.
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.

pass finally?"

Also
Bill No. 131. whereas, the
question of the liability of the Parochial
Schools, Churches, and Convents for
water rents has been in litigation for
a considerable number o-f years past,
claim being made that such Schools,
Churches, and Convents are objects of
purely public charity, and therefore
exempt from liens for water rents;
and,
WHEREAS, The litigation resulted
In & decision by the Superior Court
of Pennsylvania that the City had the
right to file such Hens, the Act of
1901 ond its supplements of 1915,
which exempted such organizations, be¬
ing unconstitutional in this respect;
and,
WHEREAS, The Council of the City
of Pittsburgh, on March 15, 1919, pas.s-
ed an ordinance, which was approved
by the Mayor, authorizing the free use
of water for the Parochial Schools to
the amount of 2500 gallons per pupil
per annum; and,
whereas. On account of the liti¬
gation referred to, the exemptions were
not taken advantage of by the several
schools, and the total amount of the
water consumed, as shown by meters
in the schools, has been ebarged by
the City and entered as Hens against
the several schools and churches. The
amount of 2,500 gallon.s per pupil per
year, of free water, is more than suf¬
ficient to cover all the water used In
said schools, therefore there would
really be no liability for said schools
since the .said date of March 15, 1919,
for water rents. The total amount of
the assessments for water rents against
the schools and churches above referred
to, is $26,619.35, as follows:

mer Peacock property at Highland and
Wellesley avenues, dlth Wlard, Pitts¬

to the Sheriff, amounting to $13,580.11;

Whereas, by reason of the Zoning
Ordinance enacted since the mortgages
were recorded, the large mansion house
on the property has been rendered en¬
tirely worthless, and is now being dis¬
mantled, thus working a hardship on
the mortgage creditors; and
Whereas, City taxes filed for the year
1925 amount to $2,880.27, and for the
year 1924 amount to $6,046.32, the dif¬
ference partly being caused by the re¬

ing in the sum of $100,000, and It Is
desired to have a similar reduction for
the year 1924; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved, That the city taxes

City of Pittsburgh, Penna.
January 27, 1926.
Committee on Public Works.
Gentlemen:
On Bill No. 240, being a resolution
authorizing the Mayor to sign a peti¬
tion for the grading, paving and curb¬
ing of Boundary street, I beg to ad¬
vise you that this resolution should go
through council in the regular routine
provided for resolutions.
Generally speaking, a resolution In¬
volves the Idea of a casual or tempo¬
rary, more or less, business matter,
while ordinances connote permanent
legislation. This general division, of
course, Is subject to variations, be¬
cause the legislature has by statutes
enacted that certain proceedings must
be by ordinance.
The purpose of the resolution In-
68
volvcd Is to authorize the City to join
In a petition to Council for the im¬
provement of this street. As this Is
a matter of Importance, the resolution
should be referred to the proper com¬
mittee, reported out, and if passed
messaged to the Mayor for his ap¬
proval or disapproval. If he disap¬
proves it, it would then be before
council for action upon his veto.
If the resolution did not take this
course, but was put through in a more
or less expeditious and informal way,
the City’s consent would not be prop¬
erly given. Even if the City’s consent
were given In an Irregular way, never-
theles.s If the improvement were pro¬
ceeded with, the Irregularity would not)
In my opinion, be sufficient to cause
any loss to the City. In other words,
any person interested in the Improve¬
ment would be barred by laches in not
making his complaint earlier.
Respectfully,
THOS. M. BENNER,
City Solicitor.

Retirement Law In the classified civil
service requiring the employees to work
until the age of 65 years is attained
and allowing but $720.00 per year upon

extend to the employes of th& Govern¬
ment that recognition for protracted
faithful service which private employ¬
ers generally extend; therefore, be It
Resolved, That we earnestly favor

Street Lighting on Shady Ave.
Dear Bob Garland:
r. have received the letter which Rev¬
erend CoaUley sent you in regard to
.street lighting on Shady avenue. He
also wrote me a similar communica¬
tion.
in April, 1925, this matter was con-
.sidered and a recommendation made,
with our concurrence, by Mr. Alexander
Gray, Superintendent of the Bureau of
Lights, City of Pittsburgh, to the Di¬
rector of Public Works, to the effect
that twelve new lights be added to the
eight then in service between Fifth
avenue and Penn avenue.
I understand that this was not con¬
sidered favorably by the city on ac¬
count of the amount of expense. In
view of the long term contract for
electric current at reduced rates now
in effect between the City of Pitts¬
burgh and the Duquesne Light Com¬
pany which is producing a consider¬
able saving, could not this improve¬
ment be made without any increase In
the budget? This is a matter, of
course, for the City to decide upon.
Sincerely yours.
ARTHUR W. THOMPSON.
Hon. Robert Garland,
City Councilman,
Pittsburgh, Pa.

are asking for recognition for our
State; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Council and the
Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, hav¬
ing confidence in the desire and inten¬
tion of our esteemed President, Hon.
CrAlvin Coolidge, to deal justly and
fairly with all the people of the United
States, respectfully petition the Presi¬
dent to give favorable consideration to
the requests of our Senators and Con¬
gressmen for the appointment of a
Pennsylvanian to the Interstate Com¬
merce Commission.
Which was read.
Mr. Sngllsh moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President: I am in favor of this
resolution. I saw a similar resolution
in the. morning papers—I think It was
from the West View Board of Trade—
and I thought perhaps some member
of Council might introduce a resolu¬
tion on this subject today.
This Is a Republican Council and I
want to show you what a Republican
thinks of this matter. The Chamber
of Commerce some time ago asked for
contributions on the question, “What
Does Pittsburgh Need Most?”, and the
speaker gave the following as his
thought which appeared in “Pittsburgh
First” of January 16th:
“Greater Pennsylvania Representation
In Federal Bodies A Pitts¬
burgh Need.
Kdltor ‘Pittsburgh First'-:
T will buy with you, sell with
you, talk with vou and walk with
you, but I will not eat with you,
drink with you nor pray with you.’
—Merchant of Venice.
Senator David A. Reed certainly
struck a keynote when he called atten¬
tion in high quarters to the manner in
which the Industrial State of Penn¬
sylvania, the second State In the
Union, in flnancial support of the gov¬
ernment, and in many other respects,
Is discriminatetd against in the giving
out of Federal patronage.
There is nothing to the argument of
some opponents who cfill attention to
the fact that we have Secretaries Mel¬
lon and Davis In the President’s Cabi¬
net, as It is universally conceded that
those gentlemen were selected by rea¬
son of their peculiar fitness, and inas¬
much as they come from that section
of the most important Industrial State,
where the fullest co-operation of cap¬
ital and labor (which each respectively
represents) has produced splendid re¬
sults, their selection as heads of the
Treasury and I.a,bor Departments is
apt and logical. And their worth has
been and is being proven.
The Chamber of Commerce and all
its individual and constituent interests
should rally to the support of Senator
Reed in his demand that these condi¬
tions be remedied, so that Pennsyl¬
vania shall have proper representation
on such bodies as the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Tariff Commission,
Board of Customs Appeals,
Federal Trade Commission,
Board of Tax Appeals.
Another flagrant discrimination against
Pennsylvania is shown in the list of
Federal Road grants for the coming
year. The government will spend in
Pennsylvania 1,4% of the amount paid
by our State in Federal Taxes; Texas
reccive.s 12North Dakota receives
110% and South Dakota 103%, while
Connecticut, another eastern manufac¬
turing State, receives 1.3% in return.
When the Democratic (National) party
is in the saddle, we get nothing; when
the Republican party is in power, the
rock-ribbed, well-organized, banner Re¬
publican State gets next to nothing.
ROBERT GARLAND.”
Mr. Sliiglish arose and said:
Mr. President: Speaking on my reso-
Union, I think some of the members
of Council will remember that In times
past I have voiced the opinion In this
Chamber that our representatives In
Congre.s.q and In the Legislature ought
to quit sitting around asking for jobs
and playing politics at Washington and
Harrisburg and rise to a higher ground
for the good of the State and our City.
I want to call attention to the fact
that if our Pennsylvania representa¬
tives at Washington and our repre¬
sentatives in the State Legislature had
been alive to the needs of their own
State they would have seen to It that
the Port of Philadelphia and the Port
of Erie would have been developed at
great expense, perhap.s, to the State,
as well as the Federal Government,
and Pittsburgh and the intervening
counties between here and Philadel¬
phia would have benefited by the Im¬
provement of these ports.
We have the spectacle of New York
building and developing great W'ater
port.s, and our own railroad, the Penn¬
sylvania Railroad Company, building
and expending flOO,000,000 for termi¬
nal facilities in the City of New York,
and in our own City of Pittsburgh they
are only spending $14,000,000 or
U5,000,000. Philadelphia has not taken
its place in the matter of world's
water port. Erie is not what Buffalo,
Cleveland or Detroit is, because of
Pennsylvania’s lack of foresight in de¬
veloping this water port.
Now is the time, when we have a
man from our own city, a young man,
called the Junior Senator of Pennsyl¬
vania, David A. Reed, working vigor¬
ously for Pittsburgh and the Pitts¬
burgh District, and his own State of
Pennsylvania, to help him in his efforts
to obtain a voice in the appointment of
some Pennsylvanian on these great Fed¬
eral commissions. There are eleven
member*' on the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and it has been operating
for 39 years, and' we in the Pittsburgh
District let it operate and discriminate
against Pittsburgh. For the last ten
years we- have been fighting the “Pitts¬
burgh Plus” ouestlon, so far as it af¬
fects the steel industry. Because of this
“Pittsburgh Plus” rate, the steel plants
hi Illinois have complained about the
freight rates in Pittsburgh, and as a
result a $60,000,000 steel plant W'as con¬
structed at Gary, Indiana. Now, they
have taken away the freight rates
which have been In effect for many,
many years, as far as steel is concern¬
ed. Now our coal business is in danger.
It Is highly gratifying that we have
somebody like Senator Reed, who
should be the mouthpiece for Pennsyl¬
vania and backed by thirty-six mem¬
bers of Congress making a demand on
the National Republican Organization
for recognllion of Pennsylvania on
some of these Federal Commissions.
.4nd it is as little as we can do to add
our voice for Pittsburgh and Pennsyl¬
vania in a.sking for a Pennsylvanian to
be appointed on the Interstate Com¬
merce Commission.
An the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Snglish moved
That the Director and the
Chief Engineer of the Department of
Public Works be notified to attend a
meeting of the Public Works Commit¬
tee on Wednesday, February 24th, in

COUNTY OF ALLEGHENY
OFFICE OP THE COUNTY COMMIS¬
SIONERS.
Pittsburgh, February 25, 1926.
Robert Clark, Esq.,
City Clerk,
City of Pittsburgh.
My Dear Sir:
Since receipt of your communication
of the 12th ult. relative to a meet¬
ing of a committee pertaining to the
placing of a tablet on the City-County
Building containing the names of the
officials who were in office and who
directed the construction of the build¬
ing, T have waited patiently for an
opportunity to place this matter before
the Commissioners w'^hen they were all
present, but, to date, It has not been
possible.
As you know, Mr. Babcock has been
away from the city for over a month,
and, prior to his leaving, Mr. Houla-
hen had been away for a long time,
and T also had reasons which kept me
away from the office for a time. How¬
ever, I am expecting all of the com¬
missioners back in the office by the
first of the month and will then let
you know just when this conference
can be held.
I vould have written you prior to
this, but I was always in hopes of
having a full quorum of commission¬
ers and arranging this conference.
I believe the thought, whoever sug¬
gested it, is a very good one. An im¬
portant building of this kind, marked
by so many other incidents, should
surely be marked by those who had
something to do witV, the construction
of same.
Respectfully yours,
JOS. G. ARMSTRONG,
Chairman, Board of County
Commissioners.

DEPARTMENT OF CITY
CONTROLLER
March 1st, 1926.
The Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
1 have been requested by the Chair¬
man of the Finance Committee to give
you a statement of the indebtedness of
the City as of this date.
On March 1st there are outstanding
Little
Malone
McArdle
Winters (Pres.)
Little
Malone
McArdle
Winters (Pres.)
140,105,600 bonds and there are author¬
ized and unlscsued $6,723,000, a total of
$46,828,600.
The Sinking Fund Commission holds
as Investments $1,103,800 City of Pitts¬
burgh bonds and $2,506,800 cash, a total
of $3,610,600.
To the net bonded debt indicated by
these figures of $43,218,000 should be
added the net floating debt arising from
assessment improvements of $4,290,000,
a total net debt of $47,508,000.
The limit of Indebtedness that may
be authorized by the electors is 7 per
cent, of the assessed valuation of
$1,014,117,000 or $70,988,000, and the ad¬
ditional debt that may be authorized by
the electors Is $23,480,000 exclusive of
$6,723,000 debt authorized and unissued.
Of this amount 2 per cent, may be au¬
thorized by action of Council without
the consent of the electors, and the net
debt, issued without consent of the
electors, is $19,123,800, leaving a coun-
cilmanic bonding power of $1,158,500, ex¬
clusive of $113,000 councilmanic bonds
authorized and unissued.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. HENDERSON,
City Controller.
Which was read.
Mr. Garland moved
That the communication be re¬
ceived and filed and made part of the
record.
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, I do not know
lhat any member of Council has Inter-
ented himself to any extent in this mat¬
ter of proposed annexation of the Bor¬
ough of Carrlck. The Council has taken
the attitude that these boroughs who-
want to come in may do so- by knock¬
ing at our door and come in if so
minded. There is no coercion on the
part of any official of the City of Pitts¬
burgh on the matter of annexation of
any contiguous borough or township.
However, In the case of the proposed
annexation of the Borough of Carrick
many misstatements and misrepresenta¬
tions have been made and are being
printed every day by newspapers, not
our own new.spapers, but those pub¬
lished In the borough, that the City of
Pittsburgh is $87,000,000 in. debt, but
Instead of being in debt and bankrupt
as the people of Carrick are led to
believe, we are in a healthy condi¬
tion financially, as this .statement which
has Just been rend and w hich of course
is official, coming from the City Con¬
troller, will show. It shows that wo
have a debt of $47,000,000, and the limit
of our indebtedness authorized by the
electors could be $70,000,000. We have
$23,000,000 unexpended people’s borrow¬
ing power, and in addition we have over
$6,000,000 of people's borrowing power
for subway which has not been used,
and for this reason there is still to be
expended about $30,000,000.
It is too bad that newspapers around
Pittsburgh, where newspapers, if they
were not living in the shadow of a great
city, would not exist, have seen fit to
garble figures in such a manner and
make misstatements and misrepresenta¬
tions concerning the great City of Pitts¬
burgh on which they depend for a live¬
lihood. Of course, what they say will
probably not get into the papers of other
large cities, but If they do and are given
to papers unfriendly to Pittsburgh, we
will get a black eye, which ofttimos
happens.
Mr. President, we know and) all our
great American cities know that no city
has a credit higher than Pittsburgh and
no city can sell Its bonds as easily and
at such good premiums as can our city
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. We enjoy the highest credit
of any city.
It is too bad that these people at¬
tempt to make trouble and make such
misstatements and misrepresentations in
regard to their own city, because most
of them consider this their city.
Mr, EuglUh arose and said:
Mr. President, I regret very
much that I did not hear of this paper
that has been published in Carrick roast¬
ing Pittsburgh about its bonded debt,
etc. I am very sorry that they could
not meet the issue in Carrick as it came
to them. They do not print anything
about their own trouble, but do publish
everything in a way reflecting on the
City of Pittsburgh, and it comes with
poor grace in view of some of the things
which the city has done for territories
recently annexed to the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
I have no interest in the annexation
of Carrick to the City of Pittsburgh,
not the slightest personal interest. I
think It is my duty as a member of
Council, however, when a petition comes
from any contiguous borough or munici¬
pality to be annexed to Pittsburgh, to
act favorably on the petition and give
the petitioners an opportunity to say
whether they want to be annexed.
I wisli to take this opportunity to dis¬
sent most strenuously from the state¬
ment Quoting John Murphy, who is
called the father of Sheraden, who ad¬
vises the people of Carrick not to Join
I r
1
1
with the City of Pittsburgh. He does
not say that the former Borough of
Sheraden failed to pay its electric light
bill and the street light service was
shut off for several nights. He does
not say that the Borough Council gave
a perpetual franchise to a private water
company which we have not been able
to strike off that community. He does
not say anything about improving
streets except those desired by favored
councilmen and does not say that the
borough officials ran over the constitu¬
tional debt limit. There is not a word
about that. Those are some of the
things they did when they ran the bor¬
ough. He does not mention any of the
things that the City of Pittsburgh has
done since annexation. He does no-t
mention that the City of Pittsburgh
took over the separate debt of Shera¬
den and spread It over the entire
City of Pittsburgh. He does not say
that the old borough water rate of
$15.00 a year has been cut down to
about $7.60 by the city. He does not
say that the borough funds and the bank
funds were mixed' up and that it was
only through a lawsuit that the bor¬
ough funds and the bank funds were
straightened out. The statement does
not say that some of the stockholders
who were la borough politics were
mixed up in the lawsuit. He does not
say that the City of Pittsburgh Improved
Chartiers avenue and constructed the
Corliss tunnel, which has eliminated a
death trap. He does not say that Sher¬
aden has a beautiful swimming pool con¬
structed at public expense. He says
nothing about the splendid Langley
High School; that the water service is
better and he does not say anything of
the many streets which have been im¬
proved. Nothing at all is mentioned
about the splendid playground the city
provided in Sheraden. He docs not say
anything about the splendid fire house
and company, No. 40, the city placed in
Sheraden.
I have no Interest in annexation elec¬
tions, as the people themselves should
decide that question, but I resent to the
utmost the unfair, and untruthful state¬
ments about Pittsburgh and Its finances.
I hope in future annexation elections
debaters will tell the truth and not
malign the City of Pittsburgh.
And the question recurring, “Shall the
communication be received and filed and
made part of the record?"
The motion prevailed,
Mr. Malone requested
That the members of Council be
each furnished a copy of the communi¬
cation.
And the Chair asked the Clerk to com¬
ply with this request.
Mr. Herron moved
That the Minutes of Council, at
a meeting held on Tuesday, February
23rd, 1926, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. JHalone, at this time obtained
leave, and presented!
No. 478. Petition for Installa¬
tion of an electric light on Swineburne
street, between Dawson street and Park
View avenue. Fourth ward.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Works,
And there being no further business
before the meeting, the Chair declared
Council adjourned.

The Chair said:
Oentlemen, we are honored to¬
day by the presence of Ellsworth Trott,
Burgess, and Ira D. Greaves, member
of council of the Borough of Garrick,
and, if there are no objections, we will
hear from these gentlemen at this time.
Mr. Ira D. Greaves, being given the
privilege of the floor, said:
Mr. President and Members of
Council: After the election last Tues¬
day, at which the people of Carrick
expressed by a majority vote their
willingness to become annexed to the
Citj' of Pittsburgh, it seems to me that
the Borough Council should recognize
that fact and give it some official rec¬
ognition. That is why I am here to¬
day. Not all of us were in favor of
annexation, but that is past, and now
that it Is past, I want to tell you that
we are now resigned to our fate. We
now want to come in with a free mind
and feel that we can be just as good
citizens in the City of Pittsburgh as
we were in the Borough of Carrick.
Now, in council, we, of course, had
a program of improvements mapped
out, consisting mostly of street paving
that the people want. Some of these
Improvements are now in the shape of
passage, some have reached first read¬
ing stage, and still others are to bo
presented to council for consideration
and action.
We appreciate the fact that your
con.sent ordin.ance was based largely
upon a certain financial statement fur¬
nished by the Borough, and it Is not
our wl.sh that tli.'Jt financial statement
should be impaired when Carrick shall
become a part of the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
The improvements that will be made
will be those which the council thinks
expedient to make; and any others In¬
volving a large expenditure will be
held in abeyance or be taken up with
the Pittsburgh officials before action is
taken.
We are not going to enter upen any
orgy of money spending. We feel that
the City will he able to give us all
the things we need. We assure you of
our co-operation.
The Chair said:
We thank you, Mr. Greaves.
Will Burgess Trott say a few words?
* Mr. Ullsworth Trott, Burgess, Car¬
rick Borough, arose and said:
Mr. President and Members of
Council: I on}y want to say a word.
The City of Pittsburgh Is going to get
13,000 of the finest type of citizens.
The people are thrifty and patriotic,
and they do love their neighborhood
and homes. The .same Intense feeling
they have put forth in the la.st 21
years in making Carrick what It is will
prevail when we become a part of ihe
great City of Pittsburgh. You will not
140
bft sorry of the citizenship of this
thriving borough.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, we are grateful to
you for the spirit shown and I hope
no act of the council of the City of
Pittsburgh will make you feel sorry.
Mr. Garland, who is chairman of our
Finance Committee, will give you ad¬
vice as to how to proceed. We assure
you that we will co-operate with you
0 fl long as you function as a borough.
Will you, Mr. Garland, talk to them
and assure them that the members of
council o.l all times will be glad to be
of assistance to them?
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, you already said
that the council of Pittsburgh will co¬
operate with them. I take it from the
attitude expres.sed by Mr. Greaves that
Carrick will go along in the even tenor
of its way and do the same as though
Carrick Borough was not to be annexed
to Pittsburgh. The Improvements de-
nired by the people of Carrick should be
put through, and I do not think council
wjJl object to that. You say you are
not going to enter upon any orgy of
money spending. We would not think
you would do that. V/e believe that
you will do only those things that are
needed.
A friend of mine wrote me a letter
and suggested that when Carrick Bor¬
ough Is annexed It be named “Carrick
Ward.'* 1 do not think this caji be
done, but your borough will retain its
sectional name just as Sheraden and
other sections of the city retain their
names.
I like the spirit of the gentlemen.
The fight was a fair one; the battle
Is not always to the strong; I do
know that the people in Carrick are
good citizens ard will help make a bet¬
ter and bigger city.
1 think it is the proper thing for
boroughs contfguoiis to Pittsburgh to
join hands with u.s and petition us to
become a part of our Great City.
There was no coercion on the part of
the City lo force the annexation of
Carrick. We simply set back and you
saw dt to come in.
We want to welcome you, and I join
the President of Council in assuring
you of our co-operation. I personally
v/e1como all the good citizens of Car¬
rick, and assure them of fair treat¬
ment on all matters which come before
council for consideration. We treat all
districts alike, as we are elected at
large, and do not look at our own
residential district with particular
fav or. Within the past several years
more money has gone to the South side
of the River for public improvements
than any other section.
Mr. Greaves said:
Mr. Garland, I want to assure
you and every other member of city
council that we will not enter into any
orgy of money spending. The bor¬
ough council wants to come in with as
nearly the same financial status as
w'hen you voted to give us the con¬
sent, and that is going to be our aim.
We will be importuned to do many
things; in fact,' at the present time,
we are asked by the proponents of
annexation to do just the thing I am
telling you we are not going to do.
Before we enter upon any large im¬
provement program, we will put it up
to the city council.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I might say for
the information of council and the offi¬
cials of the Borough of Carrick who
appear before us today, that one of
the members of the borough council
came in to see me and I took him dowm
to the City Solicitor’s office, and Mr.
Harry Diamond, one of our solicitors,
conferred with us and he said that
they were considering the status of the
borough as it now stands, with refer¬
ence to entering into contracts for
street improvements. Mr. Diamond's
opinion,- as I gathered from his con¬
versation, was that they should not
enter Into a lot of contracts, as that
might complicate things when the an¬
nexation of the borough with the city
actually takes place.
Therefore, in order to enter into mu¬
tual arrangements with the members of
Carrick Council and the Burgess of
Carrick, pending the time when the
actual annexation takes place, I believe
the city officials should confer with
them. 1 do not believe there is any
di.sposition on the part of the city to
Interfere with any program which the
borough officials might have in con¬
templation, but in order to avoid any
legal complications later, I believe such
a conference should be arratiged so
that we might know their wishes and
they learn our attitude towards these
proposed improvements.
Therefore, I move that the President
of council arrange a conference with
the Mayor, the City Solicitor and the
official representatives of Carrick Bor¬
ough, the Burgess and the Council and
their solicitor, or whoever they care to
bring in, to Initiate a plan which will
be mutually satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
141
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, is that agreeable to
you?
Mr. Cfregves said:
We welcome that, Mr. Chair¬
man,
And the question recurring* on the
motion of Mr. English, “That a confer¬
ence be held between the city officials
and the borough officials?”
The motion prevailed.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, we may not be
certain as to how quick such an
arrangement may be brought about, and
for that reason we ought to pass a
motion here, as far as council is con¬
cerned, expressing the sentiment that
the Chairman of the .Finance Commit¬
tee and the President, Pro tern of coun¬
cil, expressed. I do not think anybody
Is afraid of any unfair advantage being
taken by those charge of the affairs
of Carrick Borough, - pending the time
it actually becomes a part of the City
of Pittsburgh,
Mr. President, I move that it is the
sense of council, pending formal annex¬
ation of Carrick Borougn, the borough
officials be Invited to feel free in
carrying out such official program as
they have before them or may deem
necessary to the best interest of the
residents of Carrick.
Mr. MaJone arose and said:
Mr. President, I think this is a
good motion. At the public hearing
when the consent ordinance was before
council, both the opponents and pro¬
ponents of annexation expressed the
desire to get Information on what their
program of Improvements might be,
and one man (I do not recall his name)
got up and told us of the fact that
they had quite a large sewerage sys¬
tem proposed to complete the present
sewer system in the borough. Then
there were other matters brought into
the discussion, and I believe it was the
Burgess himself who spoke concerning
the park, and -several other gentlemen
talked of street improvements. They,
like us, probably have been working all
Winter on their 1926 Improvement pro¬
gram. They know what their financial
condition is; they know how far they
can go; and If they can complete this
sewer system now it might not be nec¬
essary in the future to do any further
work on this improvement; and they
would not only be doing themselves a
great favor, but the people of Pitts¬
burgh as well, and this will be in com¬
pliance with the motion made by Mr.
McArdlc to complete their program.
T think this motion Is very fine on
the part, of the Pittsburgh Council and
should be an inspiration to the balance
of the boroughs of Allegheny County
to know that city council tries as much
as they can to remain neutral as far
as district improvements are concerned.
This is a demonstration that city
council will at all times be fair to
those boroughs who might desire to
become a part of the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
The Chair said:
Mr, Little, I want you to say
something regarding this subject,
Mr. Little arose and said;
Mr, President, I am very much
interested in the talk of the Burgess
and the Chairman of the Finance Com¬
mittee of Carrick Council.- A few
years ago Allegheny voted on annexa¬
tion. At that time the vote was four
to one against annexation. I at that
time was for annexation and am today,
and I believe if the vote were taken
today it would be four to one in favor
of annexation. We both were benefited
by it. I believe Carrick and Pitts¬
burgh will benefit by annexation.
The Chair said;
Mr. Alderdice, if you will say
something, you will make It unani¬
mous.
Mr. Alderdice arose and said;
Mr. Pi-esident, I have nothing
special to say at this time. I welcome
the Borough of Carrick, and 1 am
doubly proud of this fact because my
son lives over there, and he, like most
of the other residents, will benefit by
annexation, if for no other reason
than the fact that they will be able
to get their water supply at a reduced
rate, or the same rate as is paid by
residents in the old section of Pitts¬
burgh.
I am very glad to welcome the Bor¬
ough of Carrick.
And the question recurring on tbe
motion of Mr, McArdle, “That it is the
sense of council, pending formal annex¬
ation of Carrick Borough, that the bor¬
ough officials be invited to feel free
in carrying out their improvement pro¬
gram.”
The motion prevailed.
Mr. G-arland moved
That the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works and the
Superintendent of the Bureau of Park#
be requested to grant permits to clfi*
142
zons of Carriok (upon their presenting:
the proper tax receipts) to play golf
or tennis In the public parks, pending
the official annexation of said borough
to the City of Pittsburgh.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Trott arose and said:
That, on behalf of the bor¬
ough, they would be glad to allow the
citizens of Pittsburgh to use their
swimming pool—the finest out-door
swimming pool in the world.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Crarland, at this time, presented
No. 533.
Pittsburgh, March 6, .1926,
Mr. Robert Garland,
Chairman, Finance Committee.
Dear Sir:
At the conference held Thursday,
March 4, 1926, at which time the
Report of the City Transit Commis¬
sion was received, the following motion
was adopted:
“That the Chairman of the Commit¬
tee on Finance be authorized to make
arrangements for a conference between
the members of the Finance Commit¬
tee, the Mayor, the City Controller and
the attorney or attorneys selected to
advise the officials of the City in ref¬
erence to the bond items.**
A further motion was adopted, 'That
the members of the City Transit Com¬
mission be invited to attend the con¬
ference.”
Yours very truly,
ROBT. CLARK
City Clerk.
Wihlch was read, received and filed.
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Gentlemen: The time is getting
short for the submission to the people
of a Bond Issue, and before consider¬
ing In any way the proposition of Sub¬
way, it would be well to have a meet¬
ing with the Pittsburgh Railways Com¬
pany and ascertain their attitude. At
the present time we have no agreement
with them whatsoever for the use of t
Subway, and therefore have no knowl¬
edge as to how they feel.
T, therefore, move that the Mayor be
requested to call a conference wUh
150
Council and the representatives of the
Plttaburgrh Railways Company at the
earlieat possible date in order to dis¬
cuss this particular matter.
Which motion prevailed.

Re.spectfuHy yours,
JOS. G. ARMSTRONG,
Chairman, Board of
County Commissioners.
Which was read, received and filed,
and the Clerk instructed to notify the
County Commissioners that the com¬
mittee will meet with them at the
time specified,
Mr. Little moved to recall from the
Committee on Public Works,
No. 502.
Whereas, The public at considerable
expen.'^e is maintaining comfort sta¬
tions free to the people; and
Whereas, Considerable complaint has
been made by reason of the system
known a.s “Pay Toilets” which have
been installed in the various comfort
stations causing considerable annoy¬
ance to the public, and this is contrary
to the intent and purpose of those re¬
sponsible for the erection of these com¬
fort stations; therefore, be it
Kesolved, That the Mayor be request¬
ed to Instruct the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works to take im¬
mediate steps to remove the pay boxes
from the comfort stations, and that
they be made free to the public,
l^ich motion prevailed.
And the resolution was read.
Mr. Little moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
The Chair called attention to the
fact that Miss Marion Johanns, of the
Peabody High School, was present, and
a.sked if she desired to say anything to
the members of her impressions of the
meeting.
Mi.ss Johanns stated
That she did not understand
why council voted on everything with¬
out seemingly paying much attention,
and why the rules were suspended so
often.
The Chair asked Mr. English to ex¬
plain about the printing of the files.
And Mr. English stated
That each bill was printed and
a copy mailed to each member at least
48 hours previous to the meeting, and
the members had plenty of time to
familiarize themselves with the bills,
and also they had been thoroughly dis-
cus.sed at the committee meetings, of
which all the members of council were
members.
The Chair asked Mr. Garland to ex¬
plain the reason for suspending the
rules.
And Mr. Garland stated
That if the rules were not sus¬
pended, It would necessitate the read¬
ing of each bill or resolution on three
separate days, and, as the members
were thoroughly familiar with thbm,
this was not necessary.
Mr. Malone stated
That the bill which had been
postponed, required seven votes, or a
three fourths vote of the entire mem¬
bership for final passage, and as there
were but seven members present, and
the bill did not have the unanimous
approval of the committee, it would be
Impossible to pass it until a full mem¬
bership was in attendance; that the
bill was an amendment to the zoning
ordinance, changing the classification
of a certain district, and as there had
been objections filed against its pas¬
sage, the law required it to receive a
vote of three-fourths of the entire
membership of council, which meant
.seven votes.
Mr, English moved
That the Minutes of council, at
a meeting held on Monday, March 1st,
1926, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. Garland
Council adjourned.

Pittsburgh, Pa.,
March 12, 1926.
Mr. Robert Clark, City Clerk,
City of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
On March 4th, two communications
were received from you, referring to
Bills Nos. 444 and 458, respectively, the
first having to do with changing a por¬
tion of St. Clair street from one-way
to two-way operation; the second con¬
cerning paving the portion of the
Smithfield Street Bridge over which
the Pittsburgh Railways Company cars
operate. These bills were referred to
the Better Traffic Committee for rec¬
ommendation and report.
I am sorry to have to inform you,
as former Secretary of this Commit¬
tee, that last December the Executive
Committee of the Better Traffic Com¬
mittee met and decided that, since it
had been appointed by ex-Mayor
Magee, and since his term of office
expired the first of the year, the com¬
mission of the Committee expired at
the same time. The Committee felt
that, in fairness to the new Mayor,
and in order that he would have an
entirely free hand in the entire mat¬
ter, it could do nothing but cease to
function. This decision was brought
to the attention of council in a letter
dated December 19th, 1925, which re¬
viewed the work of the Better Traffic
Committee and thanked council for the
budget appropriations for traffic work
In 1926.
I believe that, without going beyond
the bounds of good taste, I can state
that a considerable proportion of the
membership of the Committee Is will¬
ing to be of further service If this
should be desired, but it defers to
whatever steps the Administration may
feel advisable. I trust that the coun¬
cil committees will be Informed of this
situation.
Yours very truly,
BURTON W. MARSH.

1557 Broadway,

Pittsburgh, Pa.
March 13, 1926.
Mr. Robert Clark, City Clerk,
City County Building,
Pittsburgh, Penna.
My dear Mr, Clark:
Replying to your letter of March
lllh In re the passing of the ordi¬
nances for Pauline street and the at¬
tempt to secure waivers on the open¬
ing and extension of Pauline avenue, I
regret very much that I am obliged t 9
state that I do not believe it will be
possible to secure waivers, because of
the fact that several of the smaller
property owners on this street have
refused to consent to waive, and I,
therefore, cannot see the fairness in
having others who are actually dam¬
aged by reason of loss of property
waive their rights.
Regarding my own attitude and the
attitude of the majority of the owners
of property along the street, we all
are very anxious to have the improve¬
ment pushed along as rapidly as pos¬
sible, feeling that it will not only be
an advantage to ourselves, but a dis¬
tinct and very much needed Improve¬
ment for the entire district of Beech-
view, to get a thoroughfare through
from West Liberty avenue to Broad-
w’ay, as outlined in these ordinances.
I, myself, Mr. Brown, Mr. I>imling and
Miss Powers have repeatedly petitioned
council itself and the different depart¬
ments, for quick action In completing
the different phases of this improve¬
ment, and we all cannot but feel that
there has been considerable unneces¬
sary delay in the whole matter, and
the fact that there have been many
delegations in City Hall to see council
and the Engineering Department, ought
to be sufficient indication that we are
all considerably Interested and very
anxious in having these ordinances
passed at once.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK X. BEHEN,
Manager.

Reports of Special Committees.
Mr. Malon© presented

Pittsburgh, Pa., March 13, 1926.
President and Menabers of Council.
Gentlemen:
Your special committee, ap¬
pointed to confer with the County
Commissioners on the matter of in¬
stalling a tablet commemorating the
dedication of the City-County Building,
met with the County Commissioners on
Tuesday, March 9th.
Your sub-committee explained the
purpose of the resolution adopted by
council, and after a short discussion,
the County Commissioners appropri¬
ated an equal amount, $1,000.00, to that
appropriated by the city.
The County Commissioners then
formed themselves into a general com¬
mittee with your sub-committee, to
take care of anything that might de¬
velop on this subject until the Presi¬
dent of City Council desires to make
a permanent committee along with the
County Commissioners, and it is the
belief of your sub-committee that the
President of council should appoint a
permanent committee to work out with
the County Commissioners the details
concerning this tablet.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMBS F, MALONE,

Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, you will notice that
the report recommends that the com¬
mittee function until the President of
council provides for the appointment of
a permanent committee. This is as
much as we can report until the Presi¬
dent of council appoints a permanent
committee unless It is the desire of
council that your present special com¬
mittee be continued.
And, on motion of Mr. Q'airlandf the
report was approved.

No. 689.
Department of Law.
March 9, 1926.
To the President and Members
of Council.
Gentlemen:
On Bin No. 453, an Ordinance pro¬
viding for contracts for repaving
Rcedsdale and Tyndall streets, which
was amended In committee by includ¬
ing the repaving of Tyndall street (it
originally provided for the repaving of
Recdsdale street only), and Section 2
of which was stricken out and a new
Section 2 Inserted, which provided for
an appropriation of 113,000.00 each in¬
stead of stating the total amount of
126,000.00, I advise you as follows:
The amendment is not proper, In that
the amendment to the Bill as submit¬
ted is not germane to the Bill present¬
ed, and further, that the estimate as
furnished by the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works was for one
street only. The title Is for two sepa¬
rate subjects. I believe that If the
Ordinance would authorize the setting
aside of the sum of $26,000.00 for the
repaving of Reedsdale street from
Ridge avenue to Chateau street and
for the repaving of Tyndall street
from Middletown road eastwardly. It
would then make it one subject and
not two separate subjects.
The Section 2 in a new Bill could
provide for the limit of the amount to
be spent for the repaving of each of
the streets, which would carry out the
same purpose as your Ordinance now
provides, but the title would have to
contain the total sum for the work
done instead of two separate Items.
Respectfully,
CHARLES A. WALDSCHMIDT,
City Solicitor.
Which was read, received and filed.
Mr. Oarland moved

mission has selected W. C. Rice and

City Council,

Dear Sirs: ^
Under City Traffic Ordinance Series
of 1922, File €38 and Billed 1283, Mr.
John J. Gerlach, Jr., was granted the
right by our consent to load and un¬
load busses of the smaller type in
the front of our premises at 6125-6127
Penn avenue, with the Proviso: That
we could, at any time, revoke this
permission by giving notice to the
Commissioner of Traffic, City of Pitts¬
burgh.
In accordance with our agreement
we have this day sent notice to the
Commissioner of Traffic revoking the
privilege to load and unload busses
as above stated because of the annoy¬
ance to ourselves and to our customers
177
and because It is highly detrimental
to our business.
We therefore ask that action be
taken in accordance with our rights In
the matter.
Respectfully yours,
Cohn Brothers Company,
HARRY COHN.

To the President and Members of City
Council
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
The following trial traffic regula¬
tion i.s proposed under the provision
of the ordinance approved December
15th, 1925, to-wit:
"'Fifth avenue, from Diamond street
to Dinwiddle street; ‘no parking’ 8:00
to 9;30 A. M. and 4:30 to 6:00 P. M.;
‘one-hour parking’ 9:20 A. M. to 4:30
V. M.”
I (Jo not think the suggestion prac¬
tical that these parking regulations
begin at Ross street instead of Dia¬
mond street. .Fifth avenue between
Hns.s and Diamond streets is subdivid¬
ed into short squares and busy thor¬
oughfares, including street ear stops,
and parking privileges therein would
Increase traffic congestion to a con¬
siderable extent.
We will begin this thirty (30) day
trial period on April .1st, 1926, and
w^e expect all arrangements to be
completed for starting on that date.
Yours very truly,
JAMES M. CLARK.
Director.

CITy OF PITTSBURGH
Pennsylvania
Chas, F. Weible, Deputy Controller
March 24th, 1926.
Mr. Robt. Clark,
City Clerk.
Dear Sir:— •
Complying with Bill No. 650, a reso¬
lution requesting the Controller to in¬
form Council or the Finance Commit¬
tee what will be the City's margin of
Peoples’ borrowing power for the next
10 years, a.ssuming that there be
bond Issues of $18,000,000 regular
and ?12,000,000 special, making a total
of $30,000,000, I am of the opinion
that there can be no submission to
the electors of a proposed bond issue
under the 10 per cent, provision until
the 7 per cent, margin has been ex¬
hausted, as the language of both Sec¬
tion 15 of Article IX of the Constitu¬
tion and Section 3 of the Act of As¬
sembly of June 5, 1915, are plain in
staling, "Any of the said municipal¬
ities or counties may incur indebted¬
ness In excess of seven per centum,
and not exceeding ten per centum,”
this limiting the application of a vote
of three-fifths of the electors to an
increase in excess of seven per centum.
The question also arises as to what
class of Improvements may legally be
provided for by this additional au¬
thorization, Section 15 being headed,
’’Municipal Indebtedness for Certain
Public Works,” and providing for the
non-consideration as a debt of bonds
Issued for the construction or acquisi¬
tion of waterworks, subways, under¬
ground railways or street railways
under certain conditions, although the
provision for an increase in excess of
seven per centum a?id not in excess of
ten per centum mak(’s no reference to
any limitation on .the purposes of such
borrowings.
Whatever may be the final construc¬
tion of this legislation, or what may
be the purposes of bonds issued under
the provisions of this additional au¬
thority, the financial forecast as the
borrowing capacity of the City for the
next Ion years, if $30,000,000 bonds are
presently authorized by the electors,
remain.^ unchanged, and there is trans¬
mitted herewith a set of four sched¬
ules estimating the borrowing capsicity
of the city for the years 1927 to 1937,
upon the assumption that $30,000,000
additional debt is authorized by the
electors. In compiling these tables, it
is assumed that all of the present debt
authorized and all of the additional
$30,000,000 is to be issued during 1926;
it is necessary to make some assump¬
tion as to the date of issuance of
bonds authorized, in order that the
annual reduction in net debt by the
operation of the Sinking Funds may
be calculated.
It has also been assumed that
$4,500,000, the present floating debt,
will remain as a charge against the
debt limit throughout this period, but
no allowance has been made for addi¬
tional debt that may arise from the
periodical funding of the City’s share
of the cost of oralnary openings and
widenlngs, grading, paving and curb¬
ing, and sewer construction. It Is
possible that this will amount to about
$500,000 annually, which would result
In an increase in the net debt, and a
consequent decrease in borrowing ca¬
pacity by the year 1937, of between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. HENDERSON.
City Controller.

CITY OF PITTSBURGH
Pennsylvania
Department of City Controller
March 24th, 1926.
To The Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:—
I transmit herewith, for your in¬
formation, a schedule showing amounts
required to complete payments of the
cost of various street improvements,
copies of which have been today
handed to the City Solicitor and the
Director of the Department of Public
tlon:
“Attached hereto Is a schedule
showing amounts required to complete
payments of the cost of various street
improvements. Because of certain
legal complications it has been im¬
possible heretofore to issue funding
bond.s for the payment of the amountt
due contractors, which are the larger
portion of the amount due, without
securing consent of the electors, and
now seems the proper time to submit
the matter to them. I would suggeet
a submission as follows:
“Shall the Indebtedness of the
City of Pittsburgh be Increased In
the sum of $705,000.00 for fund-
192
Ins the City's share of existing
unfunded indebtedness ’of the City,
consisting of amounts due con¬
tractors and final awards of dam¬
ages, arising from the opening,
widening and improving of
streets.”
The Issuance of these bonds will
- 1
not affect either the total or the Coun- !■
cilmanlc borrowing capacity, as the I
amounts to be funded are already in- ]
eluded in the floating debt.”
Yours very truly,
JOHN H. HENDERSON,
City Controller.

DK’PARTMENT OF LAW. I to be settled by means of a decision
Fittsburg-h, March 23, 1926.
Finance Committee of Council.
Gentlemen:
On Bill No. 649, being a Resolution
requesting the City Solicitor to ad¬
vise Council or the Finance Commit¬
tee relative to certain matters per¬
taining to the proposed Peoples’ Bond
Ts.sue, with regard to the possibility
of putting out a bond issue on a dO
per cent, borrowing power basis, I
advise you as follows:
1. The legality of such an Issue,
the 7 per cent, margin not being de¬
pleted.
T am of the opinion that the 7 per
cent, margin must be depleted prior
to going into a margin In excess of
7 per cent, and less than 10 per cent.
By this I mean that you cannot leave
a balance remaining to the credit of
the margin not in excess of 7 per cent,
and at the same time attempt to Issue
bonds in the margin in excess of 7
per cent and less than 10 per cent.
The amendment to the Constitution
provides for indebtedness in excess of
7 per cent, and less than 10 per cent.,
and If the indebtedness did not reach
the amount of 7 per cent, then It would
be improper to say to the electors
that the Indebtedness is in excess of
7 per cent, and less than 10 per cent.
The question is whether the bonds
are issued and used for the purpose
of making the Improvements as con¬
tained in the amendment to the Con¬
stitution, to-wit, the construction or
acquisition of waterworks, subways,
underground railways or street rail¬
ways, or the appurtenances thereof.
A copy of this amendment to the Con¬
stitution is attached to this opinion
for your reference. The question has
never been decided squarely by the
Courts of Pennsylvania but there seems
to be a dicta that the amendment
must be construed as a whole and
not any individual section, and seems
to infer that the Indebtedness In ex¬
cess of 7 per cent, of the assessed
valuation shall only apply to the
making of the Improvements as speci¬
fied in the amendment.
I am of the opinion that if any
other matters except the improvements
• as provided in the amendment, to-wit,
the construction or acquisition of
waterworks, subways, underground
railways or street railways or appur¬
tenances thereof, shall be paid for from
of the Supreme Court.
2. Opinion as to the marketability
of said bonds.
As to this question, from the investi¬
gation I have made through the Union
Trust Co. and the Mellon National
Bank, I am informed that it would
afCect the marketability of such bonds,
in that, the premium would not be as
high if you go into the 10 per cent,
clas.s. This is evidenced by the Phila¬
delphia bonds. They informed me that
they increased from a 4.15 per cent,
basis to a 4.35 per cent, basis when
the bonds were issued in excess of
7 per cent. As against the proposition
In excess of 7 per cent., would say
that the Allegheny County bonds sold
within a week on a 4.05 per cent,
basis. From the information which I
have received, I wish to say that the
bonds Issued by the City of Phila¬
delphia under the 7 per cent, basis
bore 4 per cent, interest, and those
issued by the City of Philadelphia un¬
der the 10 per cent, basis were 4H
per cent.
The answ^er as to the effect on the
7 per cent, regular Issue Is also
answered In the question as to w'hcthcr
the is.sue of 10 per cent, should carry
a higher rate of interest than those
of the regular issue, in that, by the
sale of the Philadelphia bonds It would
seem tq necessitate the Increase of
interest on the 10 per cent, bonds,
but as to this none of the bond buy¬
ers would give definite information.
3. Statement as to the wisdom and
propriety of such an issue as bearing;
on the City’s credit, as well as its
possible effect on future issues.
I would say that I am reliably In¬
formed that if the basis of issuing
bonds is In excess of 7 per cent., it
will take all the bonds out of the mar¬
ket for the New York savings banks
and insurance companies, Massachu-
sett.s and Connecticut banks, as these
states have laws which provide that
the savings Institutions cannot Invest
in securities of municipalities of Penn-
.sylvania and other States when the
bonds are issued in excess of 7 per
cent.
From the conversation with the
Union Trust Co., and the Mellon Na¬
tional Bank, the conservative opinion
would be to stay within the limit of
7 per cent, and the reason given H
that at the present time the tendency
is against w hat I hey call extravagant
194
expenditures and the increasing of
municipal indebtedness. My reason for
consulting with the Union Trust Co.
and the Mellon National Bank for in¬
formation is that they are the larg¬
est buyers of municipal bonds in this
dl.strlct.
There is also another matter of ex¬
treme importance, that if the indebted-
ne.ss is increased in excess of 7 per
cent, the release of the securities held
and previously issued would be thrown
on the market and would affect the
marketability of the present issue. As
to the possible effect on future issues,
It would be merely a conjecture and
I cannot see how my conjectures on
thi.s matter would enlighten Council.
Respectfully,
CHAS. A. WALDSCHMIDT,
City Solicitor.
Section 15. No obligations which
have been heretofore Issued, or which
may hereafter be issued, by any coun¬
ty or municipality, other than Phila¬
delphia, to provide for the construc¬
tion or acquisition of waterworks, sub¬
ways, underground railways or street
railways, or the appurtenances there¬
of, shall be considered as a debt of a
municipality, within the meaning of
section eight of article nine of the
Constitution of Pennsylvania or of
this amendment, if the net revenue
derived from said property for a period
of five years, either before or after
the acquisition thereof, or, where the
same is con.structed by the county or
municipality, after the completion
thereof, shall have been sufficient to
pay interest and sinking fund charges
during said period upon said obliga¬
tions, or if the said obligations shall
be secured by liens upon the respec¬
tive properties, and shall impose no
municipal liability. Where municiipali-
tles or counties shall issue obligations
to provide for the construction of prop¬
erty, as herein provided, said munici¬
palities or counties may also issue ob-
Ifgations to provide for the Interest
and sinking fund charges accruing
thereon until said properties shall have
bren completed and In operation for
a period of one year; and .said munici¬
palities and counties shall not be re¬
quired to levy a tax to pay said In¬
terest and sinking-fund charges, as re¬
quired by section ten of article nine
of the Constitution of Pennsylvania,
until after said properties shall have
been operated by said counties or
municipalities during said period of
one year. Any of the said municipali¬
ties or counties may Incur Indebted¬
ness In excess of seven per centum,
and not exceeding ten per centum,
of the assessed valuation of the
taxable property therein, if said in¬
crease of indebtedness shall have
been assented to by three-fifths of the
electors voting at a public election,
in such manner as shall be provided
by law.

stitution. as given above, is Amend¬

Finance Committee of Council:
Gentlemen:
On Bill No, 607, being an Ordinance
giving consent of the City of Pitts¬
burgh to the annexation of the con¬
tiguous Borough of Oveibrook, Alle¬
gheny County, Pennsylvania, the Law
Department reports as follows:
That the Borough of Overbrook has
filed an Auditor’s report for the year
1925, a certified copy of which has
. U50,754.7»
been given to the City Controller and
to the Law Department. As this was
the only matter which had not been
approved by the Law Dejxirtment, the
filing of the Auditor’s report compiles
with our requirements.
Therefore, there is no further ob¬
jection to the passage of the Consent

To the Council.
Gentlemen:
With relation to your Inquiry con¬
cerning the financial condition of the
Boro)igh of Overbrook, I wish to say
that it is impossible for this office
to secure the books covering the
financial status of the Borough for the
year 1925. We have, however, and
attached hereto, a certified copy of
the Auditor’s report for the year 1924.
which shows a very satisfactory con¬
dition so far as the Borough’s financial
affairs are concerned.
There arc certain figures that would
Interest the Council of Piit.sburgh,
which are not susceptible to confirma¬
tion except from statement made by
citizens of the Borough who are farail*
Jar with the facts.
In 1924, the Item of “Bonds and
Interest” amounted to $82,599.35. The
report does not state the valuation
for 1924, or any other year, so that
in addition to the certified copy of
212
the report above mentioned, Mr. Ber¬
nard Stranbe, Mr. "Wm. M. Ward, and
Mr. J. J. McGrath; the latter being
the attorney for the Petitioners in
lhe?e proceedings, make an affidavit
that they arc registered, qualified vot-
er't in the said Borough of Overbrook
and resided in the said Borough dur¬
ing the year 1925 and that during the
year 1925, there was no bonded in¬
debtedness incurred by the said Bor¬
ough of Overbrook.
There la also attached hereto, a
eertUlcate from the Board of the As¬
sessment and Revision of Taxes, that
the taxable valuation in the Borough
of Overbrook for the year 1925 is
$2,770,500.00.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Herron presented
No. 758. With great sorrow
the members of Council learned of the
death of Charles P. Weible, Deputy
City Controller, which occurred on
March 3rd, last;
Charles F. Welble was a faithful city
employee for the past thirty-four
years, having entered the public Berv-
ice in the former City of Allegheny In
il892, and came over to the Greater
City with the consolidation in 1907. As
the Clerk of the Finance Committee, he
came in close contact with the mem¬
bers of Council and endeared himself
to them by the cheerfulness and capa¬
bility he displayed in the discharge of
the duties assigned him. His knowl¬
edge of the finances of the City made
his assistance invaluable to the Com¬
mittee in its deliberations; Therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, By the Members of
Council and the Mayor, That, In the
death of Charles P. Welble, we have
lost a true and faithful friend, and
the City of Pittsburgh, an efficient,
trustworthy and conscientious em¬
ployee; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread in full upon the
Minutes of Council, and that an en¬
grossed copy be sent to the family.
Which was read,
Mr. Herron moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed hy a unani¬
mous rising vote.
Mr. Herron also presented
No. 759.
Resolved, By the Council and the
Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, that
in the death of George W. Burke, Su¬
perintendent of the Bureau of I^rks,
which occurred on March 25th, this
City has lost not only a capable em¬
ployee, but also an official of great
executive ability, and a citizen whose
genial presence will be missed by his
host of friends.
George W. Burke entered the employ
of the City thirty-six years ago as a
foreman in the parks; in 1893 he be¬
came Superintendent and continued In
that position until 1901, when he left
the City’s employ. He returned as
Superintendent In 1903, and he served
continuously until his death.
How efficiently he filled his position
can best be judged by a survey of the
park system of this City. As a horti¬
culturist, George W. Burke occupied a
high position; the flower shows in

b<* H further
Hesolved, That in the passing of
(Iporge W. Burke, Pittsburgh has lost
a conscientious and efficient official,
and the members of Council a true
friend; be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
made a part of the records of Council,
and that an engrossed copy be sent to
the family.
WTilch was read.
Mr. Herron moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed by a unani¬
mous rising vote.
Mr Alderdlco called up
Bill No. 188. An Ordinance en¬
titled, An Ordinance authorizing and
directing the grading and paving of
Pansy Way, from Forbes Street to the
nty Line, and providing that the costs,
damages and expenses of the same be
a8se8.sed against and collected from
property specially benefited thereby.*'
In Council, March 29, 19.26, Bill read
and laid over.
Which was read a second time.
And the Clerk, at the request of Mr.
Herron, read
Bill No. 724. Petition of prop¬
erly owners fronting on Pansy Way,
Fourth Ward, asking that the ordinance
be rejected. Signed by Frank M. Gard¬
iner and 26 others.
Mr. Herron said
This Is a case where a majority
of the people living in the City are
opposed to the improvement, and have
sent in a petition today remonstrat¬
ing against the paving of this alley,
and I believe the ordinance should be
sent back to committee and a further
hearing granted. In many cases where
a majority of the people have signed
a petition to improve streets, the work
cannot be done, and in this case where
moH of the people In favor of the
Improvement live in Wllkinsburg, and
not in the City, you are going to pass
an ordinance for the Improvement. This
la a hardship on the working people
living in thi.s neighborhood; one man
just paid $600 to paving a street, and
will now be required to pay another
$1100.00 for improving the alley.
Mr. Alderdice said
The people do want this im¬
provement. One man, who lives on
the corner of a paved street and has
easy access to the alley, seems to he
a principal opponent to the improve¬
ment, This is a necessary improve¬
ment and should be made.
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
Mr. Alderdice moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the third reading and final pass¬
age of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass Anally?”
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and.were:
Ayes—Messrs.
Alderdice

Noes—^Mr. Herron
Ayes— 8 .
Noes— 1.
And there being three-fourths of the
votes of council in the affirmative, the
bill passed Anally, in accordance with
the provisions of the Act of Assembly
of May 22, 1895, and the several sup¬
plements thereto.
Mr. Garland moved
That the Minutes of Council
at a meeting held on Monday, March
29th, 1926, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And there being no further business
before the meeting, the Chair declared
Council adjourned.

DEPARTMENT OP LAW.
Pittsburgh, April 24, 1926.
Council of the City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen!
Pursuant to your request of April
22, 192G. for a written report as to
whether the City has any legal right
to make improvements on the wharves
along the lines suggested by the Flood
Commission of Pittsbugrh both with
respect to the regulations of the State
and National Government concerning
improvements on navigable streams, I
am of the opinion that the wharves
lying between Water street and the
Monongahela River and on the Alle¬
gheny River between Duquesne Way
and the Allegheny River are taken
care of by virtue of the Act of 1851,
P, L. 707, as follows:
’’That that portion of Waler street
within the City of Pittsburgh, extend¬
ing from the eastern line of Grant
street to the confluence of the Monon¬
gahela and Allegheny Rlver.s, known
as the Monongahela wharf, i^ hereby
declared to be a public landing; and
the councils of said city shall have
full power and authority to make,
alter, and amend all such rules, regu*
lations, and ordinances regulating the
use of the same as they shall and may
think proper, and shall not be Incon¬
sistent with tho existing laws of this
Commonwealth; to direct and enforce
the collection of such fees, tolls, and
duties in the nature of wharfage as
they may deem just and expedient; and
that the existing ordinances of said
City for the regulating of said wharf
and the collecting of wharfage thereon
which are not inconsistent with the
laws of this Commonwealth, are here¬
by declared legal and valid, and the
same be and remain in force until
altered, amended, or repealed by the
councils of said city, as though they
had been ordained and enacted after
the passage of this Act/*
The Act of 1836, reported in Serlei
1835-36, P. L. 318, Section 3, provides;
“After the said way (referring to
Duquesne Way) shall have been lo¬
cated and opened, according to the
provisions of this Act, the councils
of the City of Pittsburgh aforesaid
be. and they are hereby authorized to
fix and adopt a convenient grade for
the space lying northwardly from the
line of the said way, and to occupy,
fill up, and Improve the same, accord¬
ing to the grade adopted; and the
space so graded and lying betweea
the said way and low water mark
of the Allegheny Rivor, shall forever
thereafter be occupied, used, and em¬
ployed as a public landing, and th«
said councils shall have full power
to make such rules, regulations and
by-law's, regulating the use of the said
public landing, as they may think
proper, and shall not be Inconsistent
with the existing laws of this Com¬
mon w^ealth, to direct and enforce the
collection of such fees, tolls, and du¬
ties in tho nature of wharfage, as
they may deem just and expedient
and to exercise in every respect, over
the said public street and public land¬
ing, when the same shall be opened
the same powers and authority whick
they may or can exercise by law
over the other public streets and land¬
ings within the said city.**
The Act of 185S, P. L, 326, belnf
an Act to establish high and low
water lines In the Allegheny, Monnn-
gahela and Ohio Rivers, in the vtcla-
ity of Pitt.sburgh, in Allegheny Oon-
ty, Section 5, provides:
“That all riparian right now veftti
in the slate, lying between high waW
llnpg and the rivers, within the dis¬
trict aforesaid, shall from thenceforth
thereafter be vested in the several
corporations within those limits the
same now is or hereafter shall lie.”
From these Acts there cannot be
any question that the rights to what
is known as tho wharf fronting on the
Allegheny River between Duquesne
Way and the Allegheny River and on
the Monongahela River from Water
street to Monongahela River, are vest¬
ed In the City of Pittsburgh, and the
City has full power and authority over
the same and such rights to Improve
AS any other public street or thorough¬
fare, provided, however, that the City
shall at all times maintain a wharf
or landing in good order and repair.
Tho City has the right to improve
the wharves as any other highway or
put such other Improvement thereon,
but is by law compelled to maintain
a public landing for such persons as
use the navigable streams, to-wit, the
Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela Riv¬
ers.
The harbor lines would have to be
maintained In accordance with the reg¬
ulations of the War Department and
any Improvements that the City would
make could not extend farther than
the low water mark, and the improve¬
ment between low and high water
mark would have to be made In con¬
junction with tho Acts of Assembly
in providing a public landing, and in
compliance with the regulations of
the War Department In accordance
with the Acts of Congress. These im¬
provements w'ould have to be made
under authority of the Department of
Public Works.
There Is no authority for the City
to make any appropriation to the
Flood Commission or any auxiliary
Oommlssion for the cleansing, regu¬
lating, improving or controlling of
rivers or streams lying within their
respective boundaries, either in whole
or in part, or for the prevention and
control of Hoods in the same, or to
make contracts and expenditures for
the cleansing, regulating, Improvement
or control of such rivers and streams,
and for the prevention and control of
floods, by storage or retaining reser-
volm or otherwise, as by the Act of
1>U, 1*. L. 260, this power or authority
la granted to counties and not to
cities.
The Act.of 1925, P. D. 2i3, Section
2, provides that the word “municipal¬
ity'* as used in this Act, includes coun¬
ties, cities, boroughs, towns, and town¬
ships. Section 2 provides:
“Any municipality is authorized from
time to time to appropriate money or
to borrow money and to increase its
indebtedness within the limits pre¬
scribed by the Constitution for the
purpose of assisting the Commonwealth
in the construction and completion of
any project or improvement for the
conservation of water and the control
of floods, by advancing to the Com¬
monwealth for expenditure on such
project of improvement the moneys
so appropriated or borrowed."
Section 3 provides:
“No such moneys shall be appropri¬
ated, borrowed, or advanced to the
Commonwealth by any such municipal¬
ity except for expenditure on a project
or improvement which has been prior
to the passage of this Act authorized
by law to be constructed and complet¬
ed by the Commonwealth or any de¬
partment, board or commission thereof
for the conservation of water and the
control of floods. Such moneys, when
appropriated or borrowed, shall be paid
over to the Secretary of Forests and
Waters of the Commonwealth, who
shall immediately pay the same over
to the State Treasurer for safe-keep¬
ing. Such moneys so paid over to
the State Treasurer shall be placed
in a separate fund and shall be ex¬
pended by the Department of Forests
and Waters’ for the construction and
completion of any project or improve¬
ment for the conservation of water
and the control of floods authorized
by law and designated by the mun¬
icipality which has paid over said
money, and for such purposes said
moneys in said special fund from time
to time are hereby appropriated. Pay¬
ments from said fund shall be made
by warrant of the Auditor General on
the State Treasurer after requisition
by the Secretary of Forests and Wat¬
ers." •
I am, therefore, of the opinion that
should the ordinance be for the pur¬
pose of controlling floods, any increase
or any indebtednes.s assumed would
have to be paid to the State Treasurer,
and legislation would have to be enact¬
ed authorizing tho Secretary of For¬
ests and Waters to proceed with the
improvement, and, 1, therefore, sug¬
gest that the Ordinance as submitted
should be amended so as to eliminate
any reference to the protection against
floods in said rivers,
I am further of the opinion that
Council has the right to appropriate
money or use money for the purpose
of establishing terminals or improving
of the wharves, but keeping In mind
that the improvement of the wharves
must be made in such a manner that
parties using the navigable stream will
ha ve proper wharfage or landing places,
and that any improvement made on
the wharves must preserve a proper
public landing terminal, and any im¬
provement made between the low and
high water mark must be done in ac¬
cordance with the regulations of the
Wlar Department in reference to the
harbor lines.
I also call your attention to a
specific provision in the City Charier
Act of March 7, 1901, which authorizes
the City as follows:
“To provide for the construction and
maintenance of levees and ferries with¬
in the city limits; to erect wharves
on navigable waters adjacent to the
City, regulate the use thereof, collect
wharfage, and establish wharf and
dock lines."
This power is still a part of the
Charter Act and as long as the moneys
are appropriated for the purposes pro¬
vided in this Act and other Acts con¬
ferring power upon cities of the second
class, there is no objection that in
the doing of the work authorized the
incidental advantages obtained will af¬
ford some measure as a protection
against flood.
Respectfully,
CHAS. A. WALDSCHMIDT,
City Solicitor.

Gentlemen:
Permit me to call your attention to
the fact that the Bureau of Highways
and Sewers is very seriously handi¬
capped in the efficient operation of the
.Asphalt Plant by reason of a short¬
age of trucks. We have the men to
do the work that the public are clam¬
oring for, but we have no trucks, to
haul the material. Will you please
authorize us to hire trucks pending
action of the Finance Committee on
Bill No. 606, a resolution requesting
the transfer of $42,000.00, with which
to purchase seven new Auto Trucks?
I cannot impress upon you too strong¬
ly the necessity of your favorable ac¬
tion on this matter, as the public Is
clamoring more about the condition
of streets than any other activity in
this Department.
I am sure you will give this favor¬
able and Immediate consideration, so
that we can secure the highest degree
of efficiency in this very important
Bureau.

SAW MILL RUN SEWER,
(Contract No. 4).
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
It has been deemed advisable by the
Department to construct the 24 inch
sewer connection from the Warrington
avenue sewer across Warrington ave¬
nue, to the main line Saw Mill Run
trunk sower under an extra work
item. The total estimated cost of this
proposed extra work is $1,000.00.
A bid received from the contractor
was found to be too high and was
disapproved. It is proposed to do this
sewer construction on a force account
basis as provided in the contract un¬
der Article 16-B, which provides for
the payment of the cost of the work
plus 16 per cent, for profit.
When this work is completed and
before the final estimate is granted,
a P.esolution will be presented to Coun¬
cil for your consideration and approval,
authorizing the payment of this extra
work.
I am submitting this information
for yoxir consideration and tentative
approval, prior to the execution of this
extra work.

Gentlemen:
I have your favor of the 8th insf.
with reference to Bill No. 739 regard*
Ing a communication from the Lyman
Independent Fire Company asking that
the City remove a safe from the Mun¬
icipal Building, formerly St. Clair Bor¬
ough.
This safe Is located In the basement
12 feet below the sidewalk with build¬
ings erected on either side. Two
means could be used to remove the
.safe; one would be by an acetylene
torch to cut the safe up and the other
would require tearing out part of the
building and would require the servfcea
of a contractor who has the requisite
machinery for removing articles situ¬
ated in such peculiar places. The safe
has a nominal value but it would be
hard to find a market for it,
I do not think It w'ould pay the
City to remove same from the base¬
ment. I think considering the apace
occupied by the safe it does not take
up a lot of room and if it is City
property it would be wise to donate U
to any tenant who would occupy the
building,

SUBJECT; Bureau of Bridges and
Structures Amendment to (Salary
Ordinance.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Am transmitting herewith for your
consideration and action an ordinance
amending the .salary ordinance pertain¬
ing to the number of positions, titles
and salaries of employes of the Bureau
of Bridges and Structures.
This ordinance provides for the aboli¬
tion of existing positions which are
now unflUed to the amount of $9,102.
The abolition of these positions is re¬
quested for the reason that the re¬
quirements of the Division are for men
of higher class of ability, experience
and capacity.
The amending ordinance -provides for
two additional positions, a bridge de¬
signer at $4,'800 and the o.ther at
$4,500 per annum. The salary tor
these positions has been fixed after
consultation with corporation officials
who employ men of this class and
have been conser^'atively fixed with
regard to the type of men which our
service requires,
A further change provided by this
ordinance is increase in the salary of
the Division Engineer of Design from
$3,600 to $5,000 per annum—this to
keep the salary of the engineer in
general charge of design in line with
that of his assistants.
The gross increase In payroll, if
the foregoing is adopted, will be $10,700
and as positions aggregating $9,102
are to be concurrently abolished the
net Increase will be $1,598 per annum.
These changes in positions and sal¬
aries are requested In order that prompt
action may be taken on the prepara¬
tion of plans for bridges for which it
is expected that funds will be pro¬
vided under the Peoples Bond Issue
to be voted upon May 18, and further
that necessary engineering studies may
be made upon existing structures con¬
cerning which the Department has not
on hand sufficient definite informa¬
tion as to strength.
275
As a considerable saving” of time
will be made, particularly on the Cali¬
fornia Avenue Bridge over Woods Run,
by having the contract plans ready
on or about June 15, it is apparent
that immediate action is justified in
anticipation of the passage of the bond
issue.

STIIUECT: California Avenue Bridge
Over Woods Run.
Contract Ordinance for Removal.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pitt.sburgh.
Gentlemen.
Am transmitting herewith for your
consideration and action an ordinance
authorizing the advertisement for pro¬
posals and award of a contract for
the demolition and removal of the
California Avenvie Bridge over Woods
Run and providing for the payment
of the cost thereof.
The estimated cost of this work is
IfO.OOO and the cost Is to be charged
to Code Account 1549-E, Repair Sched¬
ule, Bureau of Bridges and Structures,
in which appropriation there Is a suf¬
ficient balance. It Is, however, to be
recognized that if this appropriation is
drawn upon for the removal of the
California Avenue Bridge that certain
repairs to other bridges, which have
been contemplated by the Department,
cannot be made unless additional funds
ehould be provided. However. It is
believed by the Department th^t the
economies and advantages to be gained
by the prompt removal of the Cali¬
fornia Avenue Bridge are sufficient
to warrant the action now requested
upon the attached ordinance.
The removal at the earliest possible
dale of the California Avenue Bridge
over Woods Run Is in conformity with
a program which has been recently
adopted by the Department and is now
p»’^fpnted for your consideration and
approval, and in this connection would
call your attention to report of April
W, 1926, from the Chief Engineer of
the Bureau of Bridges and Structures
In rejfard to closing to traffic and the
removal and reconstruction of the
bridge.
I would add that it is our plan to
make every attempt to advertise the
Aral contract for the foundations for
the new bridge on or about June 15
•0 that the contract may be awarded
just an soon a» bond money will be
•vallable.
There are certain questions having
to do with the occupation of the ground
•ndpmeath the bridge and physical
damage to buildings ip connection with
ihp removal of the present structure,
which Is necessary in the interest of
public safety and concerning which
the I.egal Department is now being
consulted as to the best manner for
solution. The Department hopes to
present a special report to you in
committee on Tuesday, May 4 th, in
regard to this matter. In the mean¬
time would ask that necessary action
be taken upon the contract ordinance
for the removal of the bridge.
• Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. DANG,
Director.
April 30, 1926.
SUBJECT; California Avenue Bridge
Over Woods Run.
Mr. Edward G. Dang,
Director.
Dear Sir:
We have the following recommenda¬
tions to make in regard to the Cali¬
fornia Avenue Bridge over Woods Run,
same being based on preserving a
proper degree of safety for the travel¬
ing public, avoiding exorbitant ex¬
pense, and replacement with new bridge
in shortest, possible time.
1. That immediate surveys and esti¬
mates be made to determine type and
general design of a proposed new
bridge. This may involve the tempo¬
rary transfers of additional field men
from other bureaus to the Bureau of
Bridges and Structures.
2. In view of the fact that the
existing bridge cannot be maintained for
public travel beyond a very limited
time without very extensive and ex¬
pensive work in the way of temporary
supports which would cost about ?50,-
000, that the bridge be closed to traffic
immediately and that a contract be
at once advertised for the immediate
removal of the bridge and the cost
thereof be charged to funds available
in existing appropriations. It will be
better to do this than to spend a
larger sum of money from the same
appropriation in trying to keep the
bridge in service. Further, it Is ex¬
tremely likely that the bridge will be
removed in any case before extensive
repairs could be completed. We esti¬
mate that the cost of removing the
bridge will be approximately $10,000,
this for the reason that the success¬
ful contractor will own and dispose
of Ihc materials. If this action is not
taken now and the bridge removed, it
would be too late in the season to
start the new bridge.
3 We further propose to immedi-
ately prepare the contract plans and
to be prepared to award the first con-
277
tract for the new bridge, that for the
foundations, at or about the time the
demolition of the bridge is completed
which will be , approximately eight
weeks from the present date.
4. To the end that contract plans
may proceed promptly and on a prop¬
er basis an ordinance should be sent
to Council on Monday, May 3, provid¬
ing for the employment of two bridge
designers at sufficient salaries to
enable us to meet prevailing rates and
secure first-class men. At the same
time we will ask Council to abolish
certain positions not no-w 'filled and
carrying salaries for class of men not
needed at this time.
5. Further, in regard to this mat¬
ter, the energies of the Bridge Bureau
are being spent to such a great ex¬
tent on this particular bridge that we
cannot accomplish and do the things to
other bridges which are now neces¬
sary, having particularly in mind a
very thorough examination, and plans
for repairs, which is under way in re¬
gard to the other bridges.
In view of the foregoing and with
reasonable anticipation of the ap¬
proval by the people of the bond Issue
for the replacement of this bridge, we
recommend the immediate closing of
the bridge. If the bond issue docs
not pass, then the contract for re¬
moval will not be proceeded with and
in lieu thereof we will ask Council

Gentlemen:
In reference to an opinion as to

ler at

Total tax net .$285.38
upon payment of $225.00, which amount
includes the payment of all costs, I
advise you that these lots were In the
same parcels as were contained is Bill
No. 2751, and covered by a mortgage
which antedates the lien of the taxes.
I am informed that these lots were
bought In and are now being sold for
building purposes, and that the mort-
gagcholder is sharing in the loss with
the City.
In a discussion of this matter I in¬
sisted that the costs amounting to
$74.i32 be paid in full and that the
City receive its prorata share of the
taxes in praportion to what all the
parties having liens on these lots
could receive in equal distribution,
and, I, therefore, believe that the
sum of $160.00 plus the cost would be
a fair settlement for the ^City’s taxes
in this matter.
After full investigation and discus¬
sion of the matter, I am of the opin¬
ion that the sum of $225.00 Is a
reasonable settlement and that the
Resolution should be adopted.
Ur. KcAjdla moved

CITY OF ST. LOUIS
Department of Public Utilities.
April 29th, 1926.
Mr, Robert Clark,
City Clerk,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of April 23rd, 1926, has
been referred to this Department for
attenMon.
In regard to the St. Louis Municipal
Dock, I beg to advise that this city
constructed a munlc/pal dock at thQ
cost of 1626,769.00, Including railroad
tracks, warehouses and equipment as
described In article enclosed “The Port
of St. Louis, Mo.’' dated November
Cth. ]9?5.
(n 1903 the government established
an inner and an outer harbor line 250
feel apart on each side of the river,
forming a cros.s section 2,000 feet across
the lop and 1,500 feet across the bot¬
tom and about 33.76 feet deep, this
area not to be encroached upon by
City. In the construction of the
Municipal Dock the government al¬
lowed the city to build the dock on
a line 125 feet east of inner line Into
the river and build a vertical wall or
dock. The area taken was compen-
sat<»d for by dredging on outside of
dock. You can readily see that the
citr gained 125 feet of land on inner
ride of dock that was useless before
the dock was constructed. Before the
dock was started there was a natural
•lope to the River for about 400 feet
which was useless. In other words,
the city reclaimed some 30 acres of
land which is valued at perhaps a
million dollars. This was all filled up
as a public dump and did not cost the
city anything. I believe something
similar might be accomplished in your
city.
I am sending you a river gauge,
showing the low and high water In
each year. On June lUh, 1903, height
was 37.95, December 18th low as 0.60,
making a Change -of 37.35 for that
year. This change of rise and fall of
the river may not be as much in
your city, but is always to be reckoned
with in the construction of river pro¬
tection. The top of dock was built
on an elevation of 42.
If there is anything that I can do
for yonr city in helping to solve your
river conditions, I will be glad to have
you call on me.
Yours truly,
CHAS. iS. BUTTS.
Engineer of Railways and Docks.

RAPID TR.^NSTT PROB'LEMiS.
The report presented on other pages
of this issue in relation to the rapid
transit proposals of the City of St.
Louis, the fourth city in point of
population of the United States of
America, is not only interesting per
se but is al.so instructive to the au¬
thorities of all other large cities, irre¬
spective of their national location.
Mr. Butts, the engineer of the St.
Louis Department of Public Utilities,
whose report we quote, enunciates a
clear trCuiisportation axiom when he
say.s “When a city is built up beyond
a ride of thirty minutes on a surface
line, it is ready to consider a rapid
tran.sit. " If we accept that assertion
it is clear that a number of cities
in various parts of the world have so
far failed to cope adequately with the
transportation needs of their respec¬
tive Inhabitants.
In this country Glasgow, Manchester
and Birmingham are quite, or nearly
In the last-named case, within that
catego^J^ All three have population
roughly about the million mark—which
is also the case at St. Louis—an<J none
of them has made any movement in
the direction of providing rapid transit
facilities. We do not mention Liver¬
pool in this connection because It has
the overhead railway along its docks,
front as well as the Mersey Railway
289
under the river between Liverpool and
Birkenhead, so that it may claim to
have done something- in the shape of
providing? rapid transit. On the Conti¬
nent of Europe and in India there are
many cities which can be classified in
accordance with the dictum of Mr.
Butts, as was shown in our Special
World Issue of July 8th, many of these
are wakini? up to a recognition of the
fact and are discussing underground
or other linos.
At St. Louis, Mr. Butts says, the
condition precedent has been passed
many years ago, and still the “riding
public has been given no considera¬
tion.” He describes the lack of car
accommodation in terms which might
be applied mutatic mutandis, to not a
few of our—and many European—sys¬
tems. Many a long-suffering British
tramway passenger has to spend an
hour or more in getting home from his
work at night, and the St. Louis ex¬
perience of the pas.sengers at the in¬
termediate stages is amply repeated
in this country. The Americans look
at these matters somewhat differently
from ourselves. They have a keen
eye upon the centres for large areas
of country, and do their utmost to
develop their manufacturing, trans¬
shipping, and shopping facilities. We
have rather neglected this point of
view, although as a matter of strict
fact all our big and growing cities
and towns are in the same position
and might justly imitate the American
plan of pushing general local interests.
The Rotary Clubs and the Develop¬
ment Committees established of late
years afford proof that this sentiment
is gaining ground, and it may be
that they will at no distant date pay
more attention to the question of de¬
veloping more rapid transit, both by
railways and tramways. There is room
for it almost everywhere, and as trade
settles down into something like its
normal condition, we shall hope to
witness more activity and greater am¬
bition ir this respect.
In all probability, many of the read¬
ers of Mr. Butts* report will freely
concede the points he makes, as ap¬
plied to our own large centres of pop¬
ulation, but will take refuge in the
impossibility of doing anything at the
present time. In this they will be
Justified, but we would remind them
that the pre.scnt state of things will
not last forever. Prices will come
down, populations will Increase, and
there will. In a few years, be bigger
outcry than ever for quicker trans¬
portation services. That being so, it
would seem to be a good time now
to look a littie ahead and plan out
what can be done to meet the peo*
pic’s views and wants.
November sixth, 1925.
THE PORT OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
In order to show the development
of river transportation on the Missis¬
sippi River, I can find no better his¬
tory than that given in the “History
of St. Louis” b.y William Hyde and
Howard L. Conrad, published In 1899
by Professor S. Waterhouse, which is
quoted below:
“The earliest boats that navigated
the Mi.sslssippl were unshapely and
cumbrous. The lines of least resist¬
ance were not then understood. Dif¬
ferent kinds of boats were used ac¬
cording to the needs of the locality
and the nature of the freight. This
variety included canoes, pirogues,
barges, keel and flatboats. The Indian
birch canoe was ordinarily thirty feet
long, four feet wide In Its broadest
part, two and one-half feet deep In
the center, and two feet deep at each
end. The pirogue was larger than
the canoe, but smaller than the other
boats. The barge was wider but not
so long as the keelboat. The barges
were chiefly used between St. Louis
and New Orleans. They sometimes
had a capacity of forty tons. The
boats designed for the Indian trade
were peculiar in their construction.
They were from Forty-five to sixty
feet long: the sides were low, and the
bottom almost flat. Their narrowness
and light draught fitted them for swift
or shallow w^ater. In ascending the
streams, in order to prevent a useless
expenditure of strength, the boatmen
avoided the rapid current of the chan¬
nel of the river, and sought the slow¬
er water near the bank. The boats
were made with a flat bottom and
equipped with short oars, so as to
permit a close approach to the bank.
The low sides of the boat bringing the
oar-lock nearer to the water, lessened
the resistance and lightened the labors
of the rowers. The capacity of these
boats varied from 15,000 to 25.t#d
pounds. The size of the crew detep
mined by the allowance of one bolt-
man for every 3,000 pounds of freight
The oarsmen were generally Creoles
or French mulattoe.s. The “Zebuloi
N. Pike,” built on Beargrass Creek,
near Louisville, was the first steamer
to land at St, Louis, and arrive here
August 2nd, 1817. The second steim*
er that came to St. Louis was the
“Constitution,” Captain B. T. Guyird.
which arrived October 2nd, 1817. After
the year 1818, from the frequency of
the event, the arrival of a steamboat
began to lose some of its novelty.
The advent of steam superseded the
use of the keelboat, and the picturesque
features of the earlier navigation
paBsed away. In this connection an
explanation of the terms used by the
early boatman will be of general in¬
terest. In “Warping,” a long rope
was fastened to some immovable ob¬
ject on tha bank, and then the crew,
Btanding on the bow and pulling, hand
over hand, drew the boat forward.
The hands of the crew served the
purpose of a capstan. In “Cordell-
Ing" the crew walked along the bank
and dragged the boat after them by
means of a rope. It was just like
canal boat navigation, except that the
motive power was men instead of
horse.s. “Poling” consisted in pushing
the boat upstream by the aid of long
poles. The men successively took
their places at the bow and firmly
resting their poles on the bed of the
river, walked toward the stern, push¬
ing the bopt forward. Whenever a
man reached the stern, he pulled up
hiB pole and ran rapidly back to re¬
sume his place on the line. Hence,
the places on the side of the boat
where this constant circuit was going
on were called the “running boards.”
A voyage from St. Louis to New Or-
lean.s and return on these primitive
boats, took from four to six months.
Only two round-trips could be made
In a ye.'ir. Even with the assistance
of sails, a row-boat could not make
the ascent In less than seventy or
eighty days. A keelboat could be
brought by cordelle from Louisville
to St. Louis In twenty-five days. The
crookedness of the Mississippi, between
St. Louis and New Orleans, necessi¬
tated ‘ong detours. In one place a
circuit of fifty-four miles was a direct
g^ln of only five miles; at another
point the neck of a bend thirty miles
long was but a mile and a half across.
In ascending these bends the. boats
always avoided the concave side of
the stream for the double purpose of
escaping the force of the current and
the peril of caving banks. Large masses
of earth undermined by the action of
the water, sometimes fell into the river.
A boat overtaken by such an accident
was In imminent danger of submer¬
sion. The extreme crookedness of the
river caused frequent crossings. It
has been stated that the number of
limes a boat was compelled to cross
the Mississippi in the ascent from
New Orleans to St. Louis was three
hundred and ninety. These crossings
and the distance that a heavily freight¬
ed boat would be borne downstream
in going from one side to another
added nearly five hundred miles to
the length of the voyage.”
Thic article tells us about the mode
of transportation of the early days of
steam boating on the Mississippi River,
which was very slow» particularly up¬
stream.
River tran.sportation is what brought
about the development of the steam
railroads, which, twenty-six years ago,
were considerably faster than the boats
but which were still undeveloped, par¬
ticularly as to through traffic; being
mainlv short lines leading to trunk
lines: however, some of the river towns
became so important that they were
given better service.
After the passing of the boats de¬
scribed in this article, the packet boat
became a very prominent factor in
river transportation. Combining pack¬
age freight with passengers, these boats
are still doing business between St.
Louir and Peoria on the Illinois River,
and Cape Girardeau, Mo., Commerce,
Mo., and all intermediate points. Some
of the towns served by these packet
boats have no railroad facilities; the
boats are, therefore, looked to as the
life of the towns.
These boats also bring to St. Louis
a large amount of apples, particularly
from Calhoun County, Illinois.
In the early davs, the old levee in
St. Louis was one of the busiest places
In the city, but as the railroads de¬
veloped, the amount of freight de¬
creased, not because of their unsatis¬
factory service but by the desire of
shippers for faster and more frequent
.service.
There is also very little passenger
business done by the boats as com¬
pared to that of the earlier days.
Since the development of railroads,
intenirbans and buses, the river pas¬
senger service is only used by those
who enjoy this mode of transportation
and have plenty of time.
Leaving the packet boat and earlier*
transportation, we come to the latest
development of river transportation for
freight only. The first thought given
to this was in 1917, when the City
built the O’Pallon street dock and
a small ware house, costing 817,000.00.
This dock was used by the Inland
Navigation Company with one self-
propelled boat, of about 1,000-ton ca¬
pacity, operated by John H. Bernhard.
It scon developed that this type of
boat, while all riffht In itself, was nat
capable of handling a tow of barges.
In 1917 and 1918, the North Market
Street Municipal Dock was constructed
at a cost of $626,769.00. together with:
Two gantry cranes..$53,900.00
One gravity Con¬
veyor . 9,723.00
One motor-driven
conveyor . 12,500.00
One electric crane,
15-ton capacity.... 6,182.00 $82,305.00
Cost of dock proper, includ¬
ing railroad yards, etc.$544,464.00
The dimensions of the dock are 890
feet long x 36 feet 5 Inches wide; it
is constructed of reinforced concrete
(arch design), built on 50-foot oak
piles four feet center to center, pro¬
tected by a plank woven mattress, 80
feet wide, the entire length of dock.
A pile fender was constructed from
the north end of the dock to Branch
street (a distance of 1,300 feet); this
is used for tieing up empty barges,
the top of piling being 35 feet on
the river gauge.
The top of the dock proper Is 42
feet on the river gauge, and la four
feet above the flood stage of 1903,
which was 38 feet. There is a dif¬
ference of 42 feet between zero on
the gauge of the river and the top
of the dock.
There are two frame warehouses,
built on concrete foundations and with
concrete floors—one 160 feet x 200 feet
and one 125 feet x 140 feet. The large
warehouse is used for car lot ship¬
ments Lo various points, and the small
warehouse is used for truck delivery
in the city, both inbound and outbound.
The dock is served by railroad tracks,
built and controlled by the City, which
give ample facilities for loading direct
from boats to cars, also through the
warehouse to loading tracks.
The dock was built half way between
the inner and outer harbor lines es¬
tablished by the United States Gov¬
ernment, and at the time of Its con¬
struction, was about 200 feet from
the shore line. The city opened up
this space as a public dump, and with¬
in three years, reclaimed about thirty
acrep of land which Is valued at $1,-
000,000.00, with no cost to the city.
The United States Government, un¬
der the Mississippi Warrior-Waterway
Service, has operated the river service
since 1917 and during the war period
in order to relieve the railroads of
much congestion of freight. It con¬
tinued this service, first at a loss, but
now, through good management, U
shows a net return ou the investment.
The Governmenl’s equipment consists
of the following boats and barges, to-
wit:
Six 2,000 horse-power towboats.
Two 900 horse-power towboats.
Three 1,200 horse-power self-pro¬
pelled barges, 1,800-ton capacity.
Forty Compartment-type barges,
200-toii capacity.
Two Compartment-type barges,
1,000-ton capacity.
One Compartment-type barge, 600-
. ton capacity.
Five Open barges, 500-ton capacity.
The tonnage handled for the year
1924 was:
41,066 tons Inbound, and
31,608 tons outbound.
The city makes a charge of 15 cents
per ton for all freight passing over
the dock, receiving $10,900.00 In 111^4.
From February 1st, 1919, to September
30th, 1921—a period of three and one-
half years—169,750 tons of freight
were transported. It will be noted
that the popularity of the barge line
ha.s increased and Is now on a paying
basis.
A fleet of these barges can move
10,000 tons’ of merchandise—more than
350 carloads—In a single tow. Goods
loaded into a box car at a plant In
St, Louis for river shipment are de¬
livered to any port at water rates.
The switching charges from factory
to barge are absorbed, by the carrier
on competitive traffic.
The barge rates are a flat 20 per
cent, less than railroad rates, through
Joint rail and water rates, and with
one bill of lading. Bulky commodi¬
ties can be transported economically
from St. Louis to domestic and for¬
eign ports.
Among the shipments to be seen
arriving and departing from the 9L
Loui.s Port are:
Tank plates for the oil fields of
India and Mexico,
Sisal from Yucatan,
Coffee from Brazil,
Mahogany from Central America,
(Sulphate of Ammonia to Japan,
Agricultural implements, automo¬
biles, cotton, and iron pipe from
Pittsburgh via the Ohio and Mis¬
sissippi Rivers.
292
The three self-propelled boats are
for less than car lots, and oper¬
ate to New Orleans with a stop at
Cairo, Memphis and several intermedi¬
ate points, leaving the St. Louis Port
every Friday evening.
The operation of the entire fleet is
a continual service except at such
times as ice in the river prevents.
Some trouble has also been experienced
with entreme low water between St.
Tyouls and Cairo. In this case, the
barge line receives freight at the dock
and sends It to Cairo via railroad, to
be reloaded onto barge at Cairo; very
little trouble is experienced below this
point.
It Is only a question of time until
the service will be extended to Minne¬
apolis, Minn. It is hoped that the
much-talked-of Lakes to Gulf service
will be considered of enough import¬
ance to connect Chicago with the
Illinois River by a canal, thus making
t through waterway, which will open
up a vast territory along the Great
Lakes as well as to give water service
to those cities along the Illinois
River. Much work will have to be
done by the Government to create a
proper depth of water at all times.
The Government has demonstrated
that river transportation is economical
and. in some cases, as fast as some
leas than car lot freight via trains. In
order that the river may be used to
its full advantage, all larger cities
along the river should establish dock¬
ing farlliiies and co-operate with the
Barge Line for shipment via water,
and In this way, put their cities on
the waterways as well as the railroads,
as it is a well-known fact that com¬
petition is the life of trade.
'Much credit for the development of
the St. Louis Port is due to Mr. James
E. Smith, who has believed in the
value of the Mississippi river as a
means o-f cheaper tran.sportatlon and
who has done much to bring about*
its development and maintenance of
.service by the Federal Barge Line.
As St. Louis is near the center of
population, many factories arc locat¬
ing in this City in order to reduce
their shipping cosits of both raw ma¬
terials and the finished product. They
also realize the advantage of river
transportation as well as the trunk
line railroads leading to all parts of
the United States.

MAYOR'S OFFICE
Pittsburgh', May 17th, 1926.
President and Members of City Council,
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.
Gentlemen:
The City Transit Commission, acting
with my approval, is introducing in
Council an ordinance to provide for the
organization of the Department of City
Transit. I recommend the passage of
this ordinance without delay, for the
rea.sons stated below. No question of
an appropriation is involved, since
Council appropriated ample funds for
this organization before the beginning
of this year. However, no legi.slatlon
was passed authorizing the needed per¬
sonnel, and the money has therefore
remained unspent.
Reports which I have received from
the City Transit Commission show that
there is an opportunity at the present
time for the City to take action of an
anticipatory nature which will result
in the saving of a large amount of
money when later on it is decided to
proceed with subway construction. By
the expenditure of a comparatively
small arnount at present an ultimate
saving of many hundreds of thousands
of diallars can be effected. As a defi¬
nite decision as to the adoption of any
.subway plan must nece.ssarily be de¬
ferred until Council and the Adminis¬
tration have had ample opportunity to
study the matter, measures should be
adopted to insure, In so far as possible,
the realization of the savings referred
to without waiting- for such decision.
Delay In this matter will mean the sac¬
rificing of the pos.slble savings. I be¬
lieve that the City is justified in doing
a little gambling on the proposition
that it is in earnest in Its intention to
proceed with needed public improve¬
ments.
There are a number of large building
projects which are about to be started
in the busine.ss district on the line of
the subway as proposed by the City
Transit Commission. Some of these
are adjacent to the sites of proposed
suhw'ay stations. At comparatively
small expense the foundations of these
new buildings can be built In the be-
ginning in a way to meet the require¬
ments of subway construction as to
depth, design and arrangement of plat¬
forms and station entrances. If, how¬
ever, tho.se buildings are allowed to
proceed without regard to the requjre¬
men t.s of a possible future subway, the
cost of underpinning and reconstructing
the foundations and basement facili¬
ties will run into many hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
In addition to this, if the proposed
tubes under the Allegheny River are
ever to be built, provision for them
mii.st he made in the construction of
the shore piers and abutments of the
new Sixth Street Bridge. The County
may begin the building of these piers
within a few months and should be
given ample time to reach an agree¬
ment with the City as to their design.
Failure to make provision for the tubes
in building the piers might either block
them altogether or seriously distort
their alignment.
In this connection the City should
initiate negotiations, through the De¬
partment of City Transit, with Federal
and State authorities as to the loca¬
tion and design of the proposed un¬
der-river tubes. Plans for these tun¬
nels must also be coordinated with
those for the proposed river wall, the
study of which Council has recently
authorized.
In view of the above the Transit
Commission and the Department of
City Transit should be placed in a
po.sition to acquire, as needed, the ex¬
pert organization necessary to accom-
I)Iish the results indicated. I am
assured that only such positions will
be Ailed as may from time to time be
found necessary for the proper func¬
tioning of the department. I recom¬
mend the passage of the ordinance as
submitted.
Sincerely yours,
CHARDES H. KLINE,
Mayor.

Subject; California Ave. Bridge.
To the President and Members of
Council, City of Pittsburgh.
^♦‘ntlemen:
Attached hereto for your information
Is report of K. K. Morse, Consulting
Engineer, employed to make an inspec¬
tion on the California Avenue Bridge.
As you know, this bridge has now
closed to all vehicular traffic and
contract for its demolition is being
advertised, while contract ordinance is
»>ow before your body.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.
April 29, 1926.
Mr. Edward G. Lang,
Director of Public Works,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Dear sir:
In accordance with Instructions mailed
me by you on April 23, 1926, for the
inspection of the California Avenue
Bridge, I have the following report to
make:
A careful inspection was made of the
structure on April the 22nd with Mr.
Chaney and Mr. Monk and two in¬
spectors in the employ of the City of
Pittsburgh, and a second inspection was
made by me during the forenoon of
April 27, 1926. The California Avenue
Bridge, consists of an old structure
that was erected in 1862 by the Pan¬
handle Railroad and re-erected in 1889
by the old City of Allegheny, and In
1896 a new superimposed structure \vas
placed over the top of the old bridge.
The old bridge consists of the follow¬
ing spans, beginning at the south end:
1 Deck Span. 61.6 feet
1 Deck Span. 234.6 feet
1 Deck Span. 234.6 feet
1 Deck Span... 61.9 feet
Total length of old span. 592.7 feet
Added new structure (south) 48.6 feet
Added new structure (north) 65.7 feet
Total present length. 707.0 feet
Extreme length....,. 710.3 feet
When the new /part was added to the
old in 1896, the structure was amply
capable of taking care of the then
existing traffic, both vehicular and
street car travel. The introduction of
the automobile, especially the present
truck travel with its heavy rapidly
moving load and the greatly Increased
wheel load of the street cars, have
greatly overloaded this structure. The
masonry foundations are in good condi¬
tion and need no attention. The steel
work, or superimposed structure that
was erected In 1896, is in good condi¬
tion, and with the addition of the
steel stringers that were added to the
new structure make that portion of the
bridge sufficient to meet the present
condition of traffic.
The serious question at present is
the strength of the two main spans of
the old bridge. These spans were de¬
signed with cast iron compression
members and square wrought iron ten-
.sion bars and wrought iron pins. The
top chords and posts and intermediate
posts were set into massive castings,
then called elephant heads. Wrought
iron pins were used In the bottom
cords. The diagonals had an eye on
the lower end, passed through the cast¬
ings at the top, and were adjusted by
means of large nuts on top. The bot¬
tom chords had an eye at each end and
had no adjustment. The materials In the
cast iron compression members and
315
I
wrought iron tension members were
made of the finest grade of charcoal
iron. The condition of the material to¬
day reflects a high grade of workman¬
ship for a structure of that period. In
the re-erection of the old spans the
old pins were used, and have every
indication of being forced into position,
especially as a good many of the cast
lugs are broken and the pins have not
been driven home in numerous places.
U is unfortunate that new pins were
not used. Practically all the bars in
the diagonals and bottom chords do
not have uniform tension; in fact, In
numerous places the center bars of the
diagonals are loose and the same holds
true with the bottom chords in many
places. The sway and lateral rods need
adjustment. The lateral rods at the
ends of the top of the 234.6 feet spans
can not receive additional adjustment
owing to the fact that the top chord
struts are already buckled.
Several of the intermediate posts
have been cracked. I have no knowl¬
edge when this took place. It may
have been during erection; it may have
been during recent years, but it has
not been done since the bridge was
last painted. The street car rails, espe-
clallj' on the inbound track at the
north end, are flffeled and should be
replaced. The first expansion point In
approaching the bridge at the south
end on the east side, on the outside
rail is not operating and pounds badly.
There was an opening between the ends
of the rails of 3*^ inches at 9:45 A,
M., April 27th. The spikes at each end
of all the planks are loose and cause
.serious impact. This, however, is be¬
ing corrected by placing new bolts and
shimming up the floor system on top
of the stringers. New and larger spikes
should be driven at each end of the
plank throughout the bridge.
After making a calculation of the
dead load of the new part of the struc¬
ture and estimating the dead load of
the old part, It is found that the fac¬
tor of safety of the two spans, assum¬
ing a live load of one hundred pounds
per .square foot is only 3.6 or allow¬
ing for ordinary deterioration would re¬
duce the factor of .safety to below 2.
My rccommendation.s are as follows:
1. Remove all truck travel.
2. Substitute the lightest street cars
possible for the heavy 3500 cars now
passing over tiie bridge.
3. Police the structure night and
day.
4. See that warning signs are well
lighted by night.
5. Complete the placing of new bolts
and the shimming up of the floor sys¬
tem at the earlle.st possible moment
6. Place new spikes at the end of
all planks.
7. The street car company should re¬
place all the rails that are in bad con¬
dition.
8. The strengthening and protecting
of cracked intermediate posts have
already been ordered.
9. Plans should be prepared for plac¬
ing at least two towers under each
truss of each of the 234.6 foot spans
for the future, should it be deemed
necessary.
10. The structure should be inspect¬
ed at least once a week, and. If possi¬
ble, by the same inspector; and once
every 30 or 60 days a different In¬
spector put on in order to check up
the findings of the regular inspector.
11. Instrument readings and records
should be taken at least every 30 days.
12. Take instrument readings of
main spans during heavy wind storm,
if possible, and Inspect action of end
top laterals at same time.

Gentlemen:
In connection with the repaving of
Erin Street, from Center Avenue to Bed¬
ford Avenue, the Department Included
in the contract an item for re-cUpped
blockstone in the City’.s area and neg¬
lected to include the same Item in the
railway’s area through an oversight, due
to the fact that the railway’s area
needed no repaving, except in the space
one (1) foot outside the tracks.
We have communicated with the con¬
tractor and received; an extra work bid
for re-cUpped blockstone in the rail¬
way’s area at the same price contained
in the contract for the City’s area. The
use of the re-cllpped blockstone instead
of new blockstone will result in a sav¬
ing to the City,
This matter irs brought to your atten¬
tion in order that you may have full In¬
formation of same, as it will be neces¬
sary at a later date to submit a resolu¬
tion for payment for this type of work.
Tours truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,

Gentlemen:
Would advise that according to the
Information at hand the debt incurring
margin is now about $186,000 after
making deduction from the Controller’.s
statement of June 1 for various ordi¬
nances passed and approved since that
date.

of $146,400, and ordinances Introduced

In view of the necessity of reserving
sufficient margin to take care of
emergencies and urgent requirements of

Mr. Daniel Wfinter.s,

Dear Sir:
It has been deemed advisable that I
should inform you tha-t the newspapff
accounts of the Ministerial Union in«<-
382
tny on Monday, June 7th, were false
ind misleading.
This Is deplored by the editors, and
by the management of the Trinstate
News Bureau which furnished the mis¬
information. While the matter Is not
deemed of sufficien-t consequence to
demand a printed correction, we should
like you to know that in the meeting
of the Union the ministers had no de¬
bate whatever.
The resolution regarding the Poster
Memorial celebration was presented by
Rev. George A. Long. An amendment
was proposed, which was voted down.
Without further discussion the reso¬
lution was passed.
Ours is a large group composed of
at least 600 ministers, and they do not
agree on all questions, but they are
not given to wrangling, as was rcpre-
•entfd in the press reports.
Truly yours,
A. J. R. SCHU MAKER, '
(Secretary-Treasurer.

the former City of Allegheny. Dr.
Woodburn was one of the original
members of the Council of Nine, hav¬
ing been appointed by Governor Tener
in 1911. He was later elected for a
second term of four years. Dr. Wood¬
burn was a faithful, conscien-tious and
fearless public official, having the in¬
terests of all the people at heart;
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread in full upon the records of
council and that a properly engrossed
copy be sent to the family of Dr.
Samuel S. Woodburn as an expression
of councirs sympathy.
Which was read.

mous rising vote.

City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
Department of City Controller.
June 28th, 1926.
Mr. Robt. Clark,
City Clerk.
Dear Sir:—
Complying wKh motion adopted at a
meeting of Council of June 22nd, with
reference to Bill No. 1237, "That the
City Controller be asked to furnish
Council a written report similar to that
furnished in the annexation of Carrlck
Borough and other boroughs", there is
handed you herewith a tabulation sum¬
marized from the published copy of
the leport of the Knoxville Borough
Auditors as of December 31, 1925,
which was transmitted to you by me
under date of June 21st.
The only Items of floating debt
shown in that statement are more than
covered by valid liens filed by the bor¬
ough, as shown In the statement, and
the only debt existing according to
the statement that is not provided for
by cash or other Items is the bonded
421
it
I W
^■Ifi
■<14 ;k
il;is
debt of $196,500, with a sinking fund
reserve of $21,950.90, leaving a net
bonded debt at December 31, 1925, of
$174,549.10.
It appears by the debt statements
filed by the borough in 1915, when
$60,000 funding bonds were issued, and
in 1925, when $104,000 funding bonds
were issued, that the debt at each
time, all incurred without 'the consent
of the electors, was in excess of 2%
of the assessed valuations, and it Is
probably for that reason that the
issue of bonds for funding this debt
was submitted to the electors.
Under *the decisions governing the
debt of second class cities, the debt,
once incurred without consent of the
electors, would remain in that class
regardless of the authorization of the
electors for a funding bond issue, and
the statement submi'tted herewith
shows that if all assets and liabilities,
as computed by second class cities,
are Included in the Knoxville state¬
ment as of December 31, 1925, the
addition of this territory to >the City
of Pittsburgh would reduce the Coun-
cilmanic borrowing capacity by about
$25,000, and would add to the elec¬
toral borrowing capacity about $350,000.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. HENDERSON.
City Controller.

And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Malone presented
No. 1442.
Whereas, In a municipality having as
rugged topography as Pittsburgh, there
mut of necessity, be areas of con¬
siderable extent that cannot be
economically used for any Justiflable
purpose by the Individual property
owner so as to result in a financial
gala; and.
Whereas, These waste areas denuded
of all trees and vegetations present a
IMk view to the visitors and invest-
ofu seeking new locations for commer-
ctai and industrial development.s, often
indicating that the citizenship of the
Oty is shiftless and lacking in civic
iride; and.
Whenma, Such tracts could often be
tequired, reforested and planted at
waall cost and render valuable service
la Che community as economic, educa-
tkiaal and recreational factors; Now,
Utrefore, be it
Resolved. That the Department of
City Planning* be directed do make a
survey and study of all these waste
areas and report to the council from
time to time as the survey progresses
a plan for:
(a) .Securing control of waste areas
within the City by purchase, lease
or otherwise, with an estimate of
the cost of the various tracts.
(b) Planting, reforesting or otherwise
developing such tracts and the
estimated cost of such improve¬
ments.
(c) Financing the acquisition and de¬
velopment of such areas.
Which was read.
Mr. Malone moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr, President, I second the
motion. I want to say that we went
through this once before when Mrs.
Mary PI Inn Lawrence obtained for the
City of Pittsburgh many thousands of
trees for planting in the City of Pitts¬
burgh. I am not altogether clear on
what amount of work was done then,
but there was considerable work done.
Is the work contemplated by this reso¬
lution in line w'lth that work?
I would not ask that question if it
were not for the fact that the resolu¬
tion which we are now asked to adopt
states that we will take over this waste
property. In other words, I see in this
resolution the solution of the signboard
question, and I would like to know if
that is what is back of it?
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, the resolution
that is now before council does not in
any way compare with the proposition
•that was presented some time ago with
reference to the purchase of trees for
the purpose of making a forest some
place, I think council appropriated
$5,000.00 for that purpose, and some
of those tree.s were planted in the
parks and some of them planted at the
City Home and Hospitals at Mayview,
and at other places.
The purpose of this resolution, Mr.
President, Is to have the City Planning
Commission endeavor to make a survey
of all these waste areas that we have
all over the City of Pltt.sburgh where
bare hillsides appear naked. Take, for
instance, the section up along Fifth
avenue in the Gazzam and Ruch Hills
District. You can look up that hill
from Fifth avenue, the Boulevard of
the Allies, the Twenty-second Street
Bridge and other places and the hill¬
side is apparently naked from the
431
standpoint of any natural growth. This
could be covered up by plan-ting the
proper kind of trees or shrubbery or
vines,
I want -to say very emphatically, so
far as this particular resolution empha¬
sizes the doing away with signboards
are concerned, that this does not take
into consideration the signboard ques¬
tion at all. In fact this resolution fol¬
lows up something -the signboard peo¬
ple themselves did some two or three
years ago. The .signboard people, if
you will carry back your mind two or
three years, had signboards scattered
all over the South Side hillside for
probably a stretch of 1500 or 1800 feet,
advertising this and that article. The
Pittsburgh Pos-ter Advertising Com¬
pany, the Gude Company and the
Cusack Company, through voluntary
action, and for the aesthetic beauty of
that hillside, took those signs away
and gave to the City of Pittsburgh a
hillside free of all obs*tructions so far
as signboards were concerned.
This resolution deals with the ques¬
tion of developing and planting the
denuded hillsides which are now an un¬
pleasant sight to the eye* We have
the most beautiful park in the world.
Schenley Park. Thousands of people go
to Forbes Field every year to see base¬
ball and football games, and they have
right before their eyes in the rear of
the Schenley Conservatory for a dis¬
tance of 200 or 300 feet a barren spot
which takes away the beauty of the
park, I believe there are many other
spots In Pittsburgh somewhat similar
to the one presented along the Beech-
wood boulevArd in the re.ar of Schenley
Park which we are asked to purchase
from the owners for the accumulation
of taxes. There are nearly nine acres
of arid land comprised in this plot,
three sides of which have boulevard
frontage, and we .are asked to take over
this property in lieu of the taxes tha-t
have accumulated for many years. This
property when taken over by the City
could be planted with trees and shrub¬
bery and present a pleasing appearance
to those traveling over the boulevard.
I believe by proper surveys made by
the City Planning Commission many of
-these waste lands could be developed
and made spots of beauty. The Plan¬
ning Commission is willing to make
these surx'eys, and, if that is done, I
believe the City could make these hill¬
sides more pleasing to the eye than at
the present time.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. I’resident, there is another
thought In connection with this tha-t
it would be well for us to have
in mind. I do not see anything prac¬
tical or tangible to be developed out
of it, but I think it is really worth
while for th© City and its citizens to
consider. In addition to the aesthetic
feature of it, there is a very practical
side to this question from which the
city suffers very greatly. Take, for
instance, the Gazzam Hill section as
just merely a type. The denuded con¬
dition, with its precipitous topography,
invariably produces, with what i.s ordb
nary rains, a flood down those streets,
which results in damage to the prop¬
erty owners, not only along the line of
streets unimproved, but reach our Im¬
proved streets and wash earth and
debris down from these hillsides, clog¬
ging our sewers and causing groat In¬
convenience and annoyance to the prop¬
erty owners and 'tenants, besidea
menacing health.
In addition to this, if we look at It
from a financial standpoint, there la a
great deal more to it than appears on
the surface, and special attention
should be given by our Department of
Public Works when they execute any
big public improvements which result
in these conditions after the work h
finished, that the department should
take it as part of its duty to co¬
operate, If co-operation is desired, with
the property owners for the taking cart
of that bare area so as to relieve such
conditions. Jf this were done, the extra
expense later necessary in eradicating
these ugly conditions, which are preva¬
lent in so many places, could be elim¬
inated.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. McArdle moved
That the Law Department fur¬
nish the Committee on Public Work^.

President and Members of Council,
City of I’ittsburgh.
Gentlemen;
I have to request that consideration
be given to providing additional funds
for a number of the appropriation ac-
439
I
counts of the several bureaus of the
Department. Some of these appropri¬
ations for necessary activities are vir¬
tually exhausted and in others defi¬
ciencies In available balances are now
* very apparent and provision for ob¬
taining additional funds for such ap¬
propriations would, in all probability,
have to be made before the end of the
current fiscal year.
The deficiencies in the operating ac¬
counts of the Bureaus of Water and
•Bridges are especially important as
these accounts have to do with operat¬
ing or repairing the city’s facilities,
such as pumping stations and bridges.
The deficiencies in the appropria¬
tions for engineering salaries are rel¬
atively small in all of the bureaus
with the exception of the Bureau of
Fngineerliig, where, flue to the volume
of the work, a larger engineering staff
is being carried than for which funds
were originally appropriated, although
up to July 1 the expenditures have been
but little in excess of the pro-rated
allotment for the year.
The situation with regard to appro¬
priations for engineering salarie.s has.
been somewhat relieved by the fact
that a number of the employees in the
higher positions will be employed to a
considerable extent of their time upon
bond issue improvements and this Is
offset to a small extent by certain in¬
creases In salaries of these positions, a
malter which Is being separately pre¬
sented to you for your consideration.
A resume of the deficiency appropri¬
ations recommended by the Department
follows:
BUREAU OF WATER: The total
gross deficiency in appropriations of
the Bureau of Water as set forth on
the accompanying tabulation marked
Exhibit 1 is $100,6S0. as an offset of
which there will be balance.s In several
appropriations aggregating $2045. mak¬
ing the net deficiencies $98,035.
BUREAU OP BRIDCJES AND STRUC¬
TURES: The deficiencies In the Bureau
of Bridges and Structures pertain to
providing sufficient money to repair
certain bridges under contract, and for
the purpose of continuing the neces¬
sary work of repairing and repainting
our bridges with our force of men.
Council .some time ago provided ad¬
ditional men for the in.spectton of the
condition of bridges for determining
necessity for repairs. While this work
has not been completed the Department
has rather complete Information as to
the necessities.
First, with regard to repairs of
bridges by contract: the Department
has del ailed information as to the ex¬
tent of the requirements which is IR
the neighborhood of $60,000, which re¬
pairs should be done In the interest of
safety and to prevent excessive cojit
ivhich would result by deferring. Tak¬
ing this list of requirements the De¬
partment considers that the minimum
amount which should in any case be
provided for contract work for the
balance of the year is $35,000.
The appropriation.*? for wages of our
men for repairs (Code Account 155J|
is now exhausted.
The appropriation for materials for
the repair work has been drawn on
very heavily so that the balance of
June 1 was but $8250. Similarly the
appropriations for wages and material*
for our bridge repainting force i« not
sufficient to carry out the year's pro¬
gram.
This situation has to some extent
been brought about by a wage raire
of union employees and further by the
necessity of using our men in order to
carry, out the in.spection work which
has been particularly severe od a nun#'

appropriation of $13,000 is request*^
for remedying a condition whicli rt-
ists on iSmlth way where the failure

a woodi'n crib built some years a^o is
threateniiiR llie stability of the street
tn<1 two frame bouses adjoining. It is
pTOpowd to purchase the properties
iffertM and retain the street by em-
twnkment.
The principal requirements in this
Bureau Is sufficient funds to carry out
iho year’s program for appropriation
ind assessment work. In order to
wry the positions now authorized by
'^ounrii and filled. it will require
125.70ft for the h.alance of the year, but
ths prrsent force now employed is not
suffirlont to take care of the require¬
ments. and in any event it would seem
to be peressary to fill all authorized
positions for which appointments are
now vacant. This would cost an addi¬
tional 124.800 for the balan(!e of the
ymr, making a total of ^^50,500.
Cfftaln changes in salarie.s and in
titles and number of positions and in-
toMng Inter-bureau and intcr-division
iransfrrs are being separately pre¬
sented to Council, and these changes, if
approved by Council, will have but lit¬
tle effect in changing the situation—
the effect of same would be to reduce
the requirements about $500 for the
btlance of the year, making the net
fHjuirements 1.50.000 to carry a suffi-
rVnt engineering force In the Bureau
"f Knaineerlng to permit the improve¬
ment program now authorized by
<*ooncll to proceed. A deficiency ap¬
propriation of $50,000 Is therefore re-
oaefted for thi.s purpose. The total
amount of additional appropriations
requested for the Bureau of Engineer-
inr is 153.594.
BCRBAU OP TESTS: An additional
appropriation for salaries. Bureau of
Tests, in the amount of $3,240, is re¬
quested contingent upon the approval
•f a new salary ordinance being sepa¬
rately submitted for your considera¬

propriations are provided. The Superin¬
tendent of the Bureau of Highways &
(Sewers is of the opinion that an addi¬
tion appropriation in the amount of

tion a transfer «>f appropriation for

Pittsburgh, July 6, 1926.
To the Honorable Members of City
Council, City-County Building, Pitts¬
burgh, Pennsylvania,
dear Friends:
! am toda> taking the liberty of
writing an explanation of the Ordi¬
nance Number 1417. which was intro-
dmod for my Department on Monday,
;«f)c 2S. 1926.
There has been some discussion as
to the merits of the ordinance and I
iherefore feel constrained to give
rmincil my views on the same.
The ordinance provides for the em-
fikiyment of an architect and also of
a constructing and supervising engi-
ifor at a lota? fee for all not to cx-
‘■'fd !•*» (ten per cent.) of the exact
coal of the buildings, alterations, Im-
FWVfmrnts and additions to the IMtts-
birgh City Home and Hospitals at
Mayview.
I have htd fr^'ciuent con.sultations
dwlnt the past three years with cx-
pena end with well-informed advisors
who have stated that the co.st of the
•miees as to be provided for in pur-
Maaoe of the ordinance which is be¬
fore your honorable body for consid¬
eration would require the rate of com¬
pensation provided by the American
Institute of Architects, and the rate of
compensation provided for by the
American Institute of Consulting Engi¬
ne •■‘rs.
Now, after receiving this from au¬
thoritative sources, 1 am of the opin¬
ion that the rate as provided for in
said ordinance will bo sufficient to per¬
mit the carrying on of this important
work at a reason.able cost to the City,
and in conformity with the profes¬
sional practice of the National bodies
above referred to.
Of course, there will be work which
will be done by the architect, and
there will be work which will be done
by the supervising and constructing
engineer. Each will be paid his re¬
spective professional fee, not to exceed
6% (six per cent.) for both. There
will also be required detailed inspec¬
tion and general supervision and co¬
ordination of the work, which I am
reliably informed will be covered by
the difference in the percentage as
provided for in said ordinance and the
professional fee.s as established by the
National bodies.
I feel that lhi.s 4% (four per cent.)
for detailed Inspection of all materials
and for general supervision and co¬
ordination of the entire 'work should
insure to the citizens of Pittsburgh in
the end the. savings of thousands of
dollars, by assuring a return of one
hundred cents' worth of value for
every dollar invested. It should not
he forgotten that the building program
will require approximately a period of
from two to three years for comi)le-
tion, and that the 4% (four per cent.)
above referred to includes acrvlce.s of
inspectio.i, supervision and co-ordina¬
tion of the work over that entire
period
I also desire to call your attention
to the provision that the maximum
rate of percentage is based upon the
exact cost of the bullding.s, altera¬
tions, improvements and additions, and
does not refer to the furnishing.s of
these buildings—as I have in mind to
have these details carried out in my
Department under my personal super¬
vision.
In conclusion, I desire to say to
your honorable body that, if in keep¬
ing with the dignity of the City of
Pittsnurgh, and also having in mind
the ethics of the respective; profes¬
sions, I find it possible to reduce the
cost of the respective services pro¬
vided for, I assure you that the same
443
will bo done. In no event, however,
can the compensation for the scrvice.s
exceed the amount specified in the
ordinance.
If further eiueidatlon of the ordi¬
nance is deemed necessary by your
Committee, both tlie City Solicitor and
I will be delighted to discuss it fur¬
ther with you.
Very cordially,
(Mrs. J5noch) BERTHA F. RAUH,
Director.

President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
A contract between the City and
Booth & Flinn, Ltd., for the regrad¬
ing, repaving, etc,, of Seventh avenue
and Grant street, and streets affected
thereby, contains an item for asphalt
surfacing, for which the contract bid
was $5.00 per sq. yd.
The asphalt paving in question was
that adjoining the blockstone pavement
on Seventh avenue, at Bigelow boule¬
vard.
The paving on Bigelow boulevard is
asphaltic concrete, and the contractor,
by mistake, laid asphaltic concrete
whore asphalt wa.s required, amounting
to about 80 sq, yds. in all.
The •Department called Booth &
Flinn’s attention to this matter and
the contractor admit.® that a mistake
was made, and further submits an ex¬
tra work bid of $3.00 per sq. yd. for
the asphaltic concrete surfacing tni*
terial in place.
The prices bid for this work, which
is really a patch job, vary from $2.09
to $5.00 per sq. yd., depending upon
the amount of material to be laid and
the length of the haul. The price .^ub*
mi tied by the contractor seems reason*
able, considering the small amount of
material used, and in order to avoid
interruption to traffic by tearing up
the material placed and having asphalt
laid, it appears advl.sable to approve
the extra work bid.
It will be necessary later to have
your honorable body approve a reso¬
lution authorizing payment for same,
which will result in a saving of about
$160.60 on the contract.
Please advise if this action mecti
with your approval.
Yours truly,
EDWARD G, L.\Na
Director.

Gentlemen:
With reference to your n«<*ry m
whether tho signer of a petition
change of classification under the

draw his signature before the

as follows:
It is provided in Section 3 of

Art of May 11, 1921, P. L. 503, amend-
Inir the Act of June 21, 1919, P. L.

Of more of the frontage proposed to be

(20) per centum of the frontage im¬
mediately in the rear thereof, or by
the owners of twenty (20) per centum
of the frontage directly opposite the
frontige proposed to be altered, a
three-fourths vote of the members of
council ahall be required: Provided,
further, that before any such amend¬
ment. supplement, or change shall be
voted on by council, the said City
Planning Commission shall have been
river by the clerk of council twenty
tW) days’ notice thereof and of the
4tle of hearing.”
It Is also provided In the ordinance
Itself. .‘Section 50, as follows:
'The City Manning Commission shall
upon petition signed by the owners of
a fnijority of the property according
to frontage in any district or portion
thereof, and may upon its own initia¬
tive, prepare an ordinance amending,
•uppirmenting or changing the district
boundaries or the regulations herein
eaiahlished and transmit such ordi-
sincc to the City Council with a re¬
port thereon. Subsequent to the In¬
troduction of any such ordinance and
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
paesage thereof, notice of the intro-
daction thereof shall be given to all
person.^ concerned by at least one ad-
vertiaemeni in the official newspapers
>f taid city and by at least ten (10)
priated or typewritt'‘n hand bills post-
^ In conspicuous places located within
tho area of the territory affected by
th-j changes proposed by such ordi-
tAiKi, Thi.s notice shall set a date
lilt a public hearing for consideration

•Jtnt supplement or change, signed by
th* owners of twenty (20) per cent of

fourths vote of the members of Coun¬
cil. Council shall take final action

forty-five (45) days after the intro¬
duction thereof.”
We are of the opinion that unless# a
signer has received a consideration for
his signature, or upon the strength of
his signa,ture another party has In¬
curred expense, then the signer can
withdraw his signature prior to the
action upon the proposed change by
Council. In other words, there is no
estoppel against the signer, excepting
under the conditions mentioned above.

To the President and City Council.
Pitt.sburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
It has been brought to the attentlM
of the Directors of the PIttsburib
Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects that your honorable body
has had some discussion as to lb*
proper fee to be paid for archltecturtl
services in connection with the build¬
ings to be erected by the City at Mif'
view, and, in the hope that you may
be aided in an-iving at a decision.
must for your consideration submit tbf
following Information regarding the
practice of architecture.
The duties of the architect are:
1. To study the problem under cot-
si deration from every available an|)f.
and make sketches until a satisfactorr
solution is reached.
2. To prepare working drawing* wd
specifications. Including auch scale de¬
tails as may be necessary to gire tb#
contractors, bidding upon the wort
full information as to all materials
and workmanship which will be r*-
r 4 ulred for the completed building.
3. To lake bids from the contrart-
ors, tabulate the same, and to
and advise the owner in the awardlif
of the ccatracts; to draw up the con¬
tract documents after the cpninu-t*
have been awarded.
4. To supply as the wo^k progresfw
additional scale and full site detail*
all parts of the building which
further illumination.
5. To supervise the erection of
building, guide the con tractor*. * 0 ^
the accounts and exercise a geoef*
oversight of the crerailon until it i*
compl'ited and accepted.
Also
For these servicef: the usual fee Is
per cent of the cost of the opera¬
tion.
Whfther It is better to award a gen-
ern! contract or sub-let the different
portions of the work is a matter of
irprument. if, however, you adopt the
litier method the architect is the one
most competent to handle the work in
this manner, for the reason that he as
maker of the plans is the only one
thoroughly familiar with all of their
fKtuirements. ThI.s method of award¬
ing contracts entails much more work
Jo the architect and he is entitled to
an increased fee, the amount of which
ia a mailer of arrangement between
rou and him, as different architects
place different value upon such service.
It has been mentioned in your dis-
fosslon of the question that the Board
of F/Juration of Pittsburgh employs'
architects to design its buildings at a
rate less than six per cent and, while
this is true, It must be borne In mind
that the Hoard of Rducatlon mantains
it* own Building Department, and
through It takes bids, prepares con¬
tract documents, supervises the erec¬
tion of the buildings and prepares
plans and speriflcatlons for the me-
rhanicAl contracts, i. e., for the plu?hh-
inf. heating, electric work and equip-
ment.
It thus relieves the architect of
duties which it is customary for him
U perform, and consequently makes
the fee it pays an equitable one.
We offer this Information in the
spirit that it is our duly to advise our
public officials in matters relating to
our profession, and trust that it may
' helpful t j you in settling the ques-
tvfi under consideration.
Sincerely yours.

and be the means toward the end of
preserving its natural beauty.
The Board unanimously voted an en¬
dorsement of this measure and the
Secretary was advised to so notify you
and express the gratification of the
Botrd at this measure. The Municipal
Affairs, Committee, Mr. J. W. Cruik-
shank, chairman, was directed to offer
the Committee’s co-operation to the

DEPARTMENT OP CITY TRANSIT
Pittsburgh, .July 2, 1926.
Mr. Daniel Winters, President,
Council of the City of Pittsburgh,
♦ Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
I am sending enclosed a letter di¬
rected to the President and Members
of Council in the form and Intent of
the discussion that Council had with
the City Transit Commission on Mon¬
day, June 28th.
I am also enclosing the form of a
resolution which the City Transit Com¬
mission proposes that Council pass,
giving the latter directions to proceed
with further work on proposed sub¬
ways in the City.
Very truly yours,
GEO. S. DAVISON.
Chairman,
City Tran.sit Commission.
Pittsburgh, July 2, 1926.
To the President and Members of City
Council,
Pittsburgh, Penna.
Gentlemen:
There have been two printed reports
on the subject of rapid transit made
to your honorable body within the
past eighteen motiths, one under date
of January 23, 1925, by the Traffic
Commission and the other under date
of March 4, 1926, made by the City
Transit Commission, both accompanied
by reports by Daniel D. Turner, Con¬
sulting Engineer, and Winters Hay-
dock, Chief Engineer, of these two
bodies.
Insomuch as the. membership of the
present City Transit Commi.ssion is
practically the same as that of its
predecessor, the Traffic Commission, it
will be considered, for the purpose of
this letter, that the functioning of
these two Commissions has been con¬
tinuous.
The recommendations In these two
reports are In no sense in conflict with
each other, but on the contrary they
are supplementary. They deal with
and recommend a rixpiU transit system
to be operated in a subway extending
from Nortli Avenue on the North Side
to Dallas Avenue in the East End
with a subway under Grant street,
these two lines intersecting at a trans¬
fer station at Grant street and Fifth
avenue.
In ihe year 1919, the voters of the
City of Pittsburgh approved a bond
issue in the amount of $6,000,000.00 to
build a subway to be located some¬
where In the First and <Second W-ard.s.
No formal location by Council has
ever been made for this subway. The
Transit Commission believes that any
subway constructed in the First and
Second Wards under this authoriza¬
tion should form a part of the rapid
transit system recommended in Us
leports.
It has been proposed In sevenaJ quar¬
ters that because the Grant Street im¬
provement will lie whollj'^ within the
First and Second Wards, the first step
in the execution of the subway plan
should be the building of the Grant
■Street subway in advance of the main
line, using the authorized $6,000,000.00
for that purpose. This proposal has
been referred to so frequently in a
public way that the belief has been
created that this procedure is recom¬
mended by the Transit Commission.
(Such is not the case. As a matter of
fact, the Commi.sslon has never recom¬
mended this order of procedure. Here¬
tofore the Commission has not con¬
sidered it necessary to emphasiae the
reasons for its po.sition in this matter
but we now consider it important \o
do so, and hence w'ill deal with U be¬
low.
This Commission, in its studies, has
considered methods of financing the
projects recommended. No former re¬
port on the question of rapid transit
for Pittsburgh has gone so far in Ibla
direction. The general principles upon
wliich the financial program of the
Commission rests are.
^ 1. The financing of the subway
construction to be done on the credit
of the City.
2. The financing of the cost of
equipment to be supported by the
credit of the operating company.
Back of this City credit used for
subway financing there will be three
sources of revenue for its support,
namely:
a. General taxation for a fcm-
paratively small i>roportion of the
total cost.
b. Assessment of properties In the
vicinity of the subways to be built
which are particularly and peculltr-
ly benefited.
c. Revenue resulting from the op¬
erating economies due to the re¬
placing of present surface cars with
rapid transit subway trains; these
revenues to be recovered through
the operating company under a coa*
tract similar in principal to the et-
isting contract between the City aid
the Railways Company.
The money for support of the credh
u.sed by the operating compan.r
the purchase of equipment would b'
derived from operating revenue.
In order that the assessment Piw
above mentioned (known as the d»*
trlct assessment plan) may be reaoff*
ed to as a means of providing fua^
for subway construction, an araead*
448 ,
in«nt to the State Constitution must
*» made. This Is in cour.se of pro-
furement The first passage by the
Klaie Legislature of the necessary
wsolulion has been had. This reso¬
lution will receive consideration at
the hands of the Legislature early in
1>27. Should thi.s resolution be again
•Ifproved at that time, it will call for
a vote of the people of the state on
the amendment in 1928.
The Commission considers the adop¬
tion of the district assessment amend¬
ment very Important to it.s plan, as
thin amendment would greatly facili¬
tate the financing of such projects
and promote an early realization of
them.
In our report of January, 1925, we
made, on pages 13 and 14, certain
recommendation H and suggestions as
to the first steps that might be taken
In construction, confining this work
to the First and Second Wards. Later
we made a verbal report to Council
on the cost of extending such a con-
alructipn to the North Side. A sub¬
way so built would have accommodat-
aireel cars only. No action having
been taken with regard to these sug¬
gestions. the Commission has felt it¬
self obliged o find a way to secure
a rapid transit system as a first step.
In Its report of March, 1926, it was
rurxesled that the first construction
phoold extend from North Avenue to
Craig street with the Grant Street
aubway added, and that a bond issue
for this purpose be submitted to the
voter* In the recent May election.
Nothing having been done in this di¬
rection, it would appear to be good
polky to not submit this matter to
•n election before November. 1927, at
which time the attitude of the Legls-
i laturo toward the district assessment
plan will have been determined. There
are many reasons why this interval
from now to 1927 should not constl-
late a delay, but should, on the con-
Ifiry, be utilized in making the sur¬
vey* and examinations ncce.ssary to
complete the plans for estimates and
i for construction.
i (me of tile important reasons for
delaying in making a start on
OiA^truction surveys and plans until
method of financing the subway
hfeit bicn finally settled, is the fact that
Jhrfe surveys and plan.s will neces-
mrlly require a considerable length of
time to complete. They must be com-
pleied In advance of the starting of
rmwinictlon and hence the time of
vwcii a start can be brought nearer
It advancing the completion of the
ronatruction plans.
Another important reason for the
making of an early start in this work
is the reason which we have discussed
recently in correspondence with the
Mayor and Council, namely, the neces¬
sity of co-ordinating the construction
plans of many Important projects, both
private and public, with the City’s
subway plans. For example, the plans
for the shore piers of the new bridge
to be built by Allegheny County at
Sixth street must be modified so as
to provide for the proposed tunnel
under the river at that point. If this
is not done, there will re.sult serious
obstruction to the building of this
tunnel. There are also a number of
large buildings to be built soon on
the line of the proposed subway, the
foundation and basement plans for
which should be carried out so as to
make unnecessary excessive expense
for underpinning and for other struc¬
tural revisions. Some of these build¬
ings will bo built at the site of pro¬
posed subway stations and it is a
matter of groat importance to both the
City and the owners that the plans
for the buildings be co-ordinated with
the plans for station entrances and
other facilities. There are also numer¬
ous questions of casements and rights
of way which should receive some at¬
tention as early as possible. Also,
those who are promoting such public
enterprises as the great Town Hall
and the great new building for the
University of Pittsburgh should be
given an opportunity to develop their
plans in relationship to the City’s
future transit policy.
We therefore respectfully suggest to
Council that it authorize this Com¬
mission to proceed at once with the
surveys and plans mentioned in order
that it may develop more fully the
recommendations made to Council in
its p»\*vlous reports and that the City
may secure the advantages which will
acciuo to it from an early start in
this direction.
Referring now to the Grant Street
subway. The main reason advanced
for an early construction of thi.s sub¬
way Is that the operation of the cars
passing over the Smithfield Street
Bridge causes a congestion at Water
street at certain hours that would
he reduced if these cars were carried
under Grant street. It must be re¬
membered that this congestion Is the
outcome of the liberal expenditures
for tunnels and traction lines of funds,
both of private and public origin, that
have been made in recent years, to
bring large areas suitable! for homes,
largely outside of the City, Into close
touch with the downtown triangle. The
Smithfield Street bridge has so far
been the only outlet for the Increased
traffic that has been thus created.
Witliln a year the nf^w Liberty Bridge
Avill afford a large measure of re¬
lief, and thusJ make it practicable to
await the building of the line under
Fifth Avenue before building the one
under Grant street, which it Is agreed
will give further relief. It must be
conceded that the Commi.ssion’s plans
for a subway system which will afford
relief to the South Side, North Side,
and East End, simultaneously, has the
merit of being equitable to all these
nisiricts, that Is to say, it is not ad¬
vancing the interest of any one of
the communities to the detriment of
others.
Further, it is pointed out that the
operation of all cars under Grant
street in lieu of surface operation on
Smithfield Street, and without a trans¬
fer point at Fifth avenue, will not.
in the matter of distributing and pick¬
ing up passengers, be as satisfactory
as the pre.sent operations. While it
is true that the running under Grant
Street of those South Side oars that
now use SmithfleM Street to reach
Union Station wdil, besides relieving
Smithfield Street, work some economies
in the operation of these cars, the
value of those advantages are rela¬
tively small with respect to the cost
of securing them.
Respectfully submitted,

No. 1520. 'WTHKJRI^AS. It is
the belief of the City Council of Pitts¬
burgh that the people of this City
are in earnest in their intention to
proceed with Ihe construction of a
rapid tran.slt subway as soon as the
financing of such a project in a manner
which is economically sound shall be¬
come possible, and
WT1I:RRAS, The City Transit Com¬
mission, which heads the Department
of City Tran.slt In the government of
the City of Pittsburgh, has made cer¬
tain reports to Council containing
therein recommendations both as to
a future comprehensive rapid transit
program and as to the first step.^
which the City should take in initiat¬
ing such a program. Including a scheme
for financing such an undertaking;
and
WHEREAS, The Problems involved
in the design and construction of sub¬
ways and rapid transit underground
railways are of such an Intricate na¬
ture, .ind particularly so in Plttshurfh.
that the making of surveys, deslitna,
and estimates for construction pur¬
poses will necessarily occupy a consid¬
erable length of time and must
initiated long before the actual start¬
ing of construction; and
WHEREAS. We have been Informal
by the City Transit Commission that
there are many important construc¬
tion projects, both, public and private,
which either have been started or
which are about to be started, thr
plans for which should be co-ordii»t-
ed with any subway plaits which the
City may adopt, both Jn order to in¬
sure the mosL satisfactory planning
of the transit facilities with relaiton
to these projects and In order to avoid
possible obstruction to ^the subwiy,
undue cost to the City, and incon¬
venience and expense to those who
are planning or constructing such pro-
jeet.s; Now, therefore, be It
RESOD VCD. That the Department of
City Transit he directed to make the
surveys, designs, and estimate.*! necr*-
sary to permit the City to br-gln wh
initial subway construction as it may
hereafter decide upon a.s soon a.*! p<»-
sible after such decision shall hav^
been made, and that the Commlssiws
be directed also to consult and col¬
laborate with those who arc plannfp(f
construction projects, whether public
or private, the plans for which should
he CO ordinated with the City’s sub¬
way plans.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
July 1st, 1926.
Orntlemen:
I am returning without my approval.
Ordinance No. 926, on which I desire
i« make the following observations:
In the consideration of a measure
loch a* this, the one and overshadow¬
ing Impulse that .should help us reach
I conclusion should be a pride in our
ntjr, and an unshakable determination
lo make her as beautiful as possible.
Pittsburgh, because of her topo-
fraphical location. Is a community of
towering heights and winging valleys.
Nature intended that her rocks and
templed hills should rise majestically,
lad be the background for the habita¬
tion* of a thrifty, energetic, patriotic,
Oad'fearing and God-loving people.
These hills are the gift of nature.
If man mars or detracts from their
satoral beauty, he profanes the handi¬
work of the architect of the Universe.
If We would change, in any way, their
natural form, it should be to add to
I heir beauty and thereby show our
ippre^lation of the glory of the super-
Mturat.
I said at my inauguration that one
•f the ambitions, nearest to my heart,
WM to stimulate In each and every
fM, a proper love for our City. To
thi* to the ultimate we must act
•I til times to' increase, rather than
dhnlnich, Pittsburgh’s beauty, and, In
hiatancet such as this, our civic pride
rise superior to personal opinions
and Individual interests.
t appreciate that those of our cltl-
who own these hillside properties
tad that they are not productive of
tr'4it revenue. But 1 appeal to their
(Ivte pride and their love for Pitts¬
burgh too. True devotion does not
exist, unless it has for Its handmaiden
the willingness to make sacriflee. I
would like to see the owners of such
properties co-operate with us in a
movement to make Pittsburgh a thing
of beauty and a joy forever, even
though it be at some linancial sacri¬
fice on their part. Not until all of
our citizens are animated by such a
spirit, will we reach the heights of
civic supremacy.
In the discussion concerning this
ordinance, there has been shown to me
a decision of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, which has been urged as
a reason why I should affix my signa¬
ture to this bill. But one of the
outstanding pledges of my administra¬
tion was to commit ourselves un¬
qualifiedly to a great “Pittsburgh For¬
ward" movement, and to work at it
with diligence and perseverance until
we could show, by performance and
accomplishment, that a real record of
progress had been written Into the life
of our municipality.
To sign this ordinance would, I
believe, be out of tune with all the
dreams of future development we are
trying so hard to make come true.
To ctndone the decoration of what
should be beauty spots with highly
colored bill-boards for a strictly com¬
mercial purpose, would be, in my
judgment, a step backward.
I therefore Intend to stand squarely
on the ground of civic pride, civic
patriotism, and civic development, and
to move forward to the goal we seek
for Pittsburgh.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES H. KLINE,
Mayor.
To The Hoiorable, The Members of
Council,

DEPARTMENT OF CIT / TRANSIT
Pittsburgh. June 30, 1926.
Mr. Daniel Winters, President,
Council of the City of Pittsburgh,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
I was much disappointed to read in
the morning papers that Council, in
adopting the plan for the Engineering
Organization of this Commission for
the subway work, cut the salary of the
Chief Engineer from $10,000.00 a year
to $8,000.00. I think it unfortunate
that this matter was not discussed at
all in our meeting with Council on
Monday afternoon, as I was prepared
to answer all questions with regard
to this or other salaries proposed and
am confident that I could have satis¬
fied Council that the higher salary is
imperative in order that the Transit
Commission properly perform the func¬
tions entrusted to it,
Owing to the fact that I have been
a member of the engineering profession
for forty-eight years and at this time
my relations to that profe-sslon are
553
closer than that of any other individ¬
ual because of the fact that I happen
to be President of the American So¬
ciety of Civil Engrineers, and also be¬
cause I am familiar with the engineer-
ing problems of this city owing to
my lifelong residence here, I think my
views upon such a matter should carry
seme weight.
Desiring to make this letter brief,
I am not attempting to argue the
question here^ but permit me to say
that from personal knowledge and in¬
vestigation I am certain that the pe¬
culiar and unu.sual kind of ability,
training and experience necessary to
properly All such a position are in very
great demand and the city should pro¬
tect Itself against competition that
may cripple it at any time. I desire
to place emphasis upon the fact that
men qualified for such a position are
exceedingly rare and ditficult to find
owing to the comparative small amount
of subway development in the United
States as compared to other forms of
engineering design and construction
and that very few men indeed are
eligible for this class of work. The
important question confronting us is
the fact that underpaid positions in
these days and the uncertainty cf hu¬
man life argue that we must make
and maintain municipal positions at¬
tractive to men of ability if \ve hope
to secure them. The principle of at¬
tempting to fill the position under dis¬
cussion with an underpaid man is
worthy of grave and immediate con¬
sideration. The sum of $2,000.00 a
year Involved in this matter is almost
too trivial to discuss when we con¬
sider the immense importance of the
work to be directed by the Incumbent
of the position and the possibility of
the loss to the city of many times
that amount through having the wrong
man in charge.
As I said to Mr. Malone the other
da5\ the work of designing, which will
now engage our attention, is equally
important with the problems of con¬
struction, and to fill some of the more
important of the positions proposed
we may be forced to go to other
cities where subway work is now
progressing, ta get the right kind of
talent. In such emergencies we must
be ready to meet competition.
I hope that the action of Council
has not gone so far but that I may
be able to appear before it and give
our full ideas, and that arrangements
therefore be made for Friday or Satur¬
day of this week, as I will be absent
from the city for some time thereafter
and an immediate decision should be
made in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. S. DAVISON.
Chairman.
City Transit Commisalon.

tnd Bill No. 1480 provides for another
•nginecr at ^7,500.00 per annum, and
•fmal other engineers and employees,
wtt'uK them up in the office of the
Hilff Engineer of the Department of
Publlf Wlorkp.
I believe this is going to extremes
Id the building up of an organization
outside and over the regular bureaus
that are constituted in the Depart¬
ment of Public Works. Each one of
the various bureaus has a superin¬
tendent as the head, who is an engi¬
neer, with a great number of regular
eniflnecrs and other employees under
hla jurisdiction.
Today, in addition to these two
bills. 1479 and 1480, we have before
81 for pa.s.sage several other bills that
luthorlie, either by bonds or tax levy,
further increases in the engineering
department which will run well over
a quarter million dollars, in addition
to all of the engineers that were
allowed In the appropriation bill at
lha beginning of Che year—all of these
that have been added since t he begin-
ftlng of the year, and particularly the
iMtitutien of the B'ure.au of Bridges &
Structures, just a month or two ago.
In January or February of this year,
we were informed, that If we would
create the position of Chief Engineer
la the office of the Department of
Public Works, wc would have a
Mtn who w^uld be a kind of general
•aniger over all the various engi-
■eering bureau.s and divisions in the
Department of Public Works. Council
urf gladly went along with that pro-
grum and created th<at position at a
■alary of 110,000.00 for the purpose of
eadtavoring to create a condition in
the Department of Public Works that
would bring about a great deal more
harmony in the dep.artment, as well as
to get out and expedite the work that
w* had before us at that time, and
iJwi th*? work brought about by the
bond l.Mue proposed at that time, and
which ia now a fact. That program
ha» been carried out. We provided
office help fn the office of the Chief
&)f1ne«r and work has gone along in
good shape.
The City Is confronted with a pro-
prtsil to create a lot of jobs on ac-
oant of the work involved in the bond
'•mt schedule, yel, according to the
ordinance, one of the $7,500.00 jobs is
t4 provtJe an a.ssistant to Mr. Kep-
prrt, the Chief Engineer, and, in addi-
lina. there is provision for a divl.sion
^•eer at $4,800.00, both to be paid
•at of the Ux levy revenue. Wc are
taM that all of these positions are
caused by the fact of tho bond issue.
We also have the other ordinance. Bill
No. 1480, which sets up various posi¬
tions. headed by a departmental de¬
signing engineer at $Y,500.00 per an¬
num, with a staff of engineers and
assi.stants, ranging from assistant engi¬
neer at $3,600.00 to chainman at
$1,4 64.00 per annum. "yV'e are going to
have an engineer at the head and
various other engineers, and they are
to be employed, presumably, for the
purpose of preparing plans for the con¬
struction of reservoirs, I want to call
yoiir attention to the explanation given
by Mr. Reppert regarding this $7,500.00
position,—that the bond issue author¬
izes about $4,000,000 for water works
extension, and that it is necessary to
get a “high-priced” hydraulic engineer,
who 5s world famous, and probably
may be an excellent man, to oversee
the operations. The department re¬
cently promoted an employe of long
standing to be Managing-Engineer of
the Water Bureau because he was well
qualified to fill the position, and
asseru-d this new Superintendent, with
the aid of his present assistants, can
take care of all the work provided In
the bond issue for this Bureau. I
heartily agreed with that suggestion
when I read about it and heard about
it, and I think the Superintendent of
the Bureau of Water, with the help
he has at the present time, and with
the help he is going to get in these
other oidinances by additional number
of men, both engineers and laymen,
will be able to take care of all the
new work authorized In the bond
issue.
The same Is truo where it is pro¬
posed to set up new jobs totalling
$35,000 a year while there arc men
available for the bond issue Items of
this division who are familiar with all
the details of streets and sewers.
There Is not one outstanding item
in tho Bond Schedule requiring the
proposed engineering experts. The
largest operation is the Mount Wash¬
ington Roadway, and all the plans for
this have been finished; and I might
say the same thing Is true for the
other projects in the bond issue. As
far as the Grant street widening is
concerned, it does not require any ex¬
traordinary engineering ability; it is a
Job mainly for house wreckers and
street pavers.
I am sure the Superintendents of
the various Bureaus, Mr. Lanpher and
Mr. Stevenson, who have worked on
the preliminary plans, with the assist¬
ance of additional employees, without
any new positions and distinct organ-
K J /

I m
I will vote for tlin otacr engineer¬
ing* bills, but I do not believe all of
the increases are justifled. I do this
for the reason that I do not want to
stand in the way of allowing sufFi-
cient employees in the Department of
Public Works to expedite the work
authorized in the recent bond issue. I
think council should hesitate in en¬
dorsing Bills 1479 and 1480, headed by
engineers at $7,500.00 per annum, with
assistants ranging in salary from
from $4,800.00 to $1,464.00 for chain-
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I listened with
a great deal of attention to what the
last speaker had to say and 1 do not
think much of it The amount asked
here is for five and one-half months
in a reasonable experiment, which will
enable the members of council to make
up their minds whether or not the
Engineer and the Director of the De¬
partment of Public W'orks are compe¬
tent and capable enough to administer
the affairs of these positions to the
satisfaction of the people of Pitts¬
burgh, which is their first duty, but
burgth, which is theii first duty, and of
the council of the City of Pittsburgh.
Mr. Reppert, in pleading and argu¬
ing for this setup, plainly stated that
this W'as the best thought of the de¬
partment, but thal* if council had any¬
thing better to offer he was willing
to listen to it. No member of council
offered to submit any better proposi¬
tion, or a better organization other
than offer objection and opposition to
two salaries. When we got Into an
argument over the ordinances in com¬
mittee, I telephoned to the Mayor to
come over and discuss the matter wHh
our com.mtitee»
The Mayor was interested enough
to come before the committee. In
his conversation w'ith the commit¬
tee, the Mayor stated that he was for
this proposal which came from his
Departmental Director, Mr. Edward G.
Lang, and Engineer Reppert. They
had explained the proposal to him and
obtained his consent and approval.
Then the Mayor called a conference
with the members of council before the
bills were introduced. This confer¬
ence, I understand, was held on Fri¬
day, July 2ncl. 1926. I v/as out of the
city and was unable lo attend th« con*
ference, so I do not know what mem*
bers of council did attend.
From my own knowledge and ei*
perieiice in the Department of Public
Works, it is my opinion that council
can do nothing better today than M
spend $3,500.00 or $7,500.00 In an ex*
periment of this kind In an effort tn
see if wo cannot get .some result*
from this reorganized Department nf
Public Works. I want to have r^
corded in the minutes today thl.'»
ment, which is common knowledge
among most of the members of coun*
cil, that when Mayor Magee took of*
fice in 1922 T endeavored to have him
reorganize the Department of Publk
Works, and particularly the Bureau of
Engineering The member.s of council,
who were members then, who mad^
the budget of 1922, will recall that if
my request we set up a lump sum
$770,000,00 for the Bureau of Knjji*
necring, and Mayor Magee, with hi*
new Director of Public Works, Mr
Finley, was to report back to coundl
within a month or two a setup or re¬
vised Bureau of Engineering In th#
Department of Public Works. W*
waited until the middle of May. ind
they brought in the same organin*
tion that they had for years prevlou*
to that time. I protested and a.skfd
the members of Council to hold if
this until U could confer^with Miyof
Magee- They gave me that courtf*T
and 1 conferred with Mayor Magee lad
he could not answer my question irhrt
I asked him why he did not In*!.*:
upon a real re-organlzation of the
Bureau of Engineering. He gave H ir
as a hopeless task, and we have n*’!
had a genuine reorganization in Ih#
Engineering Bureau.
I have faith in the alm.<^ and pur¬
poses of Director Lang and Engiwer
Reppert, and am satisfied that It mill
bo in the interest of the taxpay‘r». If
the Engineering Bureau Is brought t#
the highest possible efficiency.
We have a new Director of l*shiK
Works and a Chief Engineer of i
supposedly high class, and they ir»
charged with spending |16,000,00(I.H uf
bond funds, of which council will h»»*
an intimate view and knowledge **
we go on from week to week. Theit*
fore, we should accept his r«o»-
mendations for the new organintmu
as proposed in these ordinance! fuf
bond work.
I am willing to give conalderatlou w
any proposition which I think will put
the engineering bureau on an efficH!
f .j|
ind competent basis. If the opposi¬
tion to the ordinances is merely a mat¬
ter of obstruction, I think it is wroni?.
I hope the members of council will
out ihem-selves in the position of this
•dmlnlalration. They are willing to
five service. We have evidence of
(hat on the matter of the claim for
JJO.OOO.OO extra work on the Saw Mill
Run Sewer, when Mr. Lang and Mr.
R^ppert refused to O. K. that extra
work order. These men of class, In-
klllrence and integrity dared to say
”no*’ end refused to O. K. the bill.
The result of their slants saved $20,000
for the taxpayers. I feel that they
are entitled to our support on their
record In this Saw Mill Run matter.
We are not paying too much for that
ijpe of men, and I am willing to cast
my vote In favor of men when they
show mj results.
If this new organization cannot show
results we can cut them off at any
time. The power lies within council
to do that by repealing these ordi¬
nances at any time. If the council
refuses to pass (hose ordinances It
will destroy the whole organization as
planned by the Director and his Chief
Engineer, and it is certainly a foolish
proposition to employ high grade men
and not give them assistants at ade¬
quate remuneration when they have
Htisfied council with the service that
haa been rendered.
Mr. Alderdice arose and said:
Mr. Frosident, Mr. Malone has
revered the ground very thoroughly.
In fact, he has said everything I would
Uve said. When Mayor Kline was be¬
fore the committee last week he did
•01 say very much about this $7,500
*^dtlon. He left it up entirely to
Director Lang and Chief Engineer Rep-
pert, and Mr. Reppert. briefly, said that
lie would be satisfied with anything
that council did. He did not say that
llM whole organization would go to
pieces If he did not get the two
t<.»H positions.
I object to the two ordinances as a
•liien and taxpayer. I do not see
how councilmcn, when they go before
the people for re-election, can justify
h expenditure of tne taxpayers’
The taxes have reached the
poiiif of almost confiscation, and no
can blame it on the Mayor. We
■rnoi go before the people and say
w* are simply doing thl.s to show our
mnfidence in the Director. Our re-
•paiMibllity Is right here, and we
-Id assume It before the oppor-
,...tjr passes which would relieve us
•f trying to explain afterward. 1 can¬
not see how council would justify such
liberality with the people’s money.
When Mr. Reppert was appointed
Chief Engl nee n in the Department of
Public Works, we were told that the
ills of the engineering department
would be cured, and that this depart¬
ment would be put on an efficient and
economical basis, and that he would
operate this department with a great
saving to the taxpayers of Pittsburgh.
If you will remember, as well as I
remember, the IMD bond issue of
$22,000,000 was handled entirely by
Director Brown. He did not ask for
two assistants. Therefore, I cannot
see my way clear at this time, in view
of this new bond issue, to provide
these high-priced engineers as assist¬
ants to Mr. Reppert. Neither can I
see the necessity for bringing in men
from the outside when we have in the
department several good engineers who
have been working for the city many
years. Therefore, I cannot sec my way
clear to vote for these bills.
Mr. Kerron arose and said:
Mr. President, I am sorry that
we did not have the benefit of the
gentlemen’s thought at the commit¬
tee meeting when these ordinances
were under discussion with the Mayor
and the Director of Public Wprks and
his Chief Engineer. It is not up to
me to defend this administration. The
Mayor and his Director and the Chief
Engineer, when they appeared before
the committee, told us what their
aims and purpose were. Director Lang
called our attention to the fact that
$3,900,000 was provided for water
work.« extension and the construction
of new reservoirs, and declared a
hydraulic engineer, as requested by
Mr. Reppert, was imperative to plan
and supervise the undertaking. Mr.
Reppert further supplemented thi« by
advising council of the condition of the
Highland Koservoir and said that he
would not guarantee this service for
any length of time. We were told by
the Builders’ Excliange that they pro¬
test against the City liiring an engi¬
neer to lake care of the building pro¬
gram at May view. They say it is not
right, and we ought to have a general
contractor, and the members of coun¬
cil thought well of that, and believed
our own City Architect should do that
work, and asked that a report be sub¬
mitted as to what the additional cost
would be if Mr. Neff's office was to do
this work. The same thing is true of
the engineering department with re¬
spect to this additional improvement

ri
work which is to be done under the
recent bond issue.
I think the Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works was very frank
and honest in his statements to the
committee. He told us that his em¬
ployees were doin^ more work than
they ever did and asked us to relieve
them of some of the additional bur¬
den by reason of the bond iiem.s.
The statement made by the previ¬
ous speaker, that the Mayor is not be¬
hind this program, is misleading. When
the Mayor was interrogated by you,
Mr. President, and I am sorry that Mr.
Aldefdice did not hear your que.stion
and the Mayor’s reply, you .said:
“Mayor, does this meet with your
approval; are you for this?”, and he
distinctly answered, “Yes.” Then, if I
remember rightly, the gentleman on my
right interrogated him and received the
same answer. Therefore, I cannot con¬
ceive the idea that the Mayor would
make such a statement if he wer<. not
in favor of this program. Even
though he does not favor the ordi¬
nances, he has the right to veto them,
and if he docs, I will guarantee that
I will not vote to pass them over his
veto.
We are told that the City of Pitts¬
burgh is badly in need of these im¬
provements. We are told that the
people are crying for relief and ask¬
ing that they be made as soon as po.s-
siblc. Therefore, why not allow the
department these additional position.s
so that the employees may proceed
with the work. It makes little differ¬
ence to me whether the positions are
allO'Wed or not. I am not defending
this administration, hut T have enough
confidence in the Mayor and his Di¬
rector of Public Works, to believe that
these positions are required.
Mr Xiittle arose and said:
Mr, President, I liave listened
with ii great deal of attention to the
previous speakers and heartily sub¬
scribe to everything Mr, Malone and
Mr, Alderdice have said. I am not go¬
ing to vote for an increase in pay of

Mr. President, I would like
the gentleman to show how this figure
is arrived at.

Mr. President, T challenge the
statement made by Mr. Little thit
these bills will increase the pay roll
a (juarter of a million dollars and in*
sist that it is wrong to allow jtuch
statements to go out to the public.
The Chair said:
Tho gentleman is responsibh
for his own statements, and if another
member caves to answer him he ctt
do so.
Mr. l^ittle arose and .said:
. Mr. President, I am going to
vote for every one of these other
bills for the engineering departm''n{.
but T do not seo any rca.son why I
should vote for Bill Nos. H79 and
1480. During my short time in council
I helped to reorganize the engineering
bureau. We brought Mr, Keppert from
the County anl fixed his salary it
$10,000 a year which is more money
than our Director of Public Works la
receiving. We created the Bureau of
Bridges & Structures, and increiard
the Superintendent’s salary to
The Managing Engineer of the Bureif
of Water was relieved of his posliloi
because he was not an engineer, aiid
an engineer was put in his place, taJ
in one of these ordinances, it Is pro-
posed to place an engineer over that
man. Mr. English said that the W*
rector of the Department of Public
Works and his Chief Engineer wouM
not subscribe to an extra work order
on the contract for the constrlJCll<*
of the Saw Mill Run Sewer, and they
had the courage to refuse to 0. K.
that bill. I sub.seribc to that,
these two men are still on the Jub,
and I do not know that they are go¬
ing to quit- Mr. Keppert, the other
day, when I asked him if these mta
would be retained after the twid
work was completed, .‘^ald he did o*;
know, and you your.self, Mr, President
volunteered the information that IM
were alway.s kept on, I wish to atafe
that I am not going to vote for *>■
these master minds—what we want t
more of the actual producers. By re¬
fusing these additional employers, is
not going to break down the morale
the department. Mr. Reppert w
brought in to create harmony in tbt
engineering department, and to br.a<
in these other people, and put the® •
jobs at salaries higher than the t#-
ployees of long experience in the ^
liartment are receiving, will create
cord among them. I believe that iMr
atlons such as these ordinances
create, would lead council, also. In
opposite direction from harmony.
Xr. McArdle prose and said:
Mr. Preeident, I would like to
make this observation: The differences
imonr councllmen, when the ordinances
wore considered in committee, amount-
rd io only US,000.00 or $6,000.00 a
fw. as expressed by the men who
Toled on them. And I wish to make
tb« further observation that the gener¬
ous use of these terms, such as
JISO.IWO, and several hundred thousand
dollars, will confuse the minds of the
puWlc who may be listening, or who
may re&d about it.
I recall the debate last week when
the chief difference of opinion was In
th«- proposal to reduce the two $7,500.00
Job.s to 15,500.00, when only $5,000.00
was really Involved, and I believe it
WM too small to fuss about in an un-
denaklng that v/ould amount to
Ili.OOO.OOO, the Department of Public
Works' allotment of the improvement
schedule,
Mr. Cnsrlish arose and said:
Mr. President, I do not want
tn have any quarrel with any mem-
Wr of council. We ought to be char¬
itable and fair to each other; but I
*ant to make this observation for the
b'wfli of the gentleman who made the
assertion that if these ordi-
AUceii pass It would cause an in-

five him plenty of time to produce

•n pRpT he will quit making extrava-
ulatemonts of that kind.
1 ihlnk Mr. Keppert has been a
i ^Jll to the City since assuming his
Mition as Chief Engineer, and now
that the bond money will be available
•ooa. I believe he la ready to carry it
^•st with great satisfaction to himself
the people of Pittsburgh; and I
^^licve it will be carried out on such
t large scale that It will be amazing
!♦ people interested in public improve-
mepta.
fJoe of the previous speakers re¬
ferred to the Bureau of Bridges and
i^sructure*. I want this new member
^ eonncil to understand that there
wme political budgets made in
yearn, and my friend on the right
' knows that, and because of that
members of council cannot go
' ' and face ;he votcr.s of this City
•ith as much ea.Me of con .science as
who have not been in on these
budget makings, and their conscience
must hurt them when they are com¬
pelled to seek re-election.
iSpeciflcally speaking about the Bu¬
reau of Bridges, let me remind the.se
two members that we had a si)lendid
bridge engineer, his name was Wilker-
son. They liked him so well in the
County that they took him and also
picked a number of our good men and
gave them very substantial increases
in salary, something over 50 per cent.
They stole our best men, and yet the
employees of Allegheny County are
paid with 6i3 cents of each dollar com¬
ing from the taxpayers of the City of
Pittsburgh. We must pay as much
as the County if we are to, rejuvenate
and rebuild our engineering depart¬
ment.
Now that we have Mr. Reppert, who
is a high-class man, and was consid¬
ered the “star man” under Director
Brown, we are going to get some har¬
mony, and City men and County men
will not be on strike because of salary.
Then we had to take Mr. Steven¬
son, who wa.s second in command, and
put him in Mr. Wilkerson’s position,
and later he, too, left the City service
for more money. All the time both of
them worked for the city the politi¬
cally-controlled council refused to give
them enough money to adequately
maintain and repair bridges. The same
thing is true -n the Water Bureau,
where a break In the water system
might have spelled disaster. You will
find the'real reason why it was neces¬
sary to ask the people for bond issue
money is because of council's neglect
to make sufficient appropriations. Some
members of council ought to be held
responsible In making these political
blunders. They deliberately created
deficits and kept the taxes down. To¬
day they have an opportunity to re¬
organize the Engineering Bureau and
put It on a harmonious basis, but be¬
cause of some unforeseen reason they
still persist in refusing to make such
a thing a fact. As I said many times
on the floor of this council, H is an
excuse and not a reason. The history
of budget making will show up even¬
tually. It is hign lime for the mem¬
bers of council to be satisfied and will¬
ing to adhere to the program of the
department which is their best thought
on this matter and Ui us go forth and
try it out and, if it docs not work, I
will be the first * one to a.sk for a
change.
The statement will go out to the peo¬
ple of Pittsburgh that, by reason of
these ordinances, we will raise taxes.

It is not fair to put this out to the
people that this is going to raise taxes.
We have provided In the bond issue
certain items of impovements, and in
these We specified that part of the
money will be spent for engineering
expenses. Any person who has any
"Knowledge at all of building and con¬
structing public improvements, knows
that engineering expense is necessary
before the work can be started and
must continue until the work is com¬
pleted. Therefore, why such hulla-
buloo about 3 or 5 per cent, for engi¬
neering expenses? The average person
would think that we have turned the
key of the City Treasury over to the
engineering department. Mr. Heppert
.said the ph.ssage of these ordinances
would cut down 21 places to 20 an^
save ihoinsands of dollars. If v;e don’t
pass these ordinances, we will destroy
the reorganization plans of the depart¬
ment. If .such a thing should happen,
I think those in the opposition will
find that they have made a mistake.
The net result of the obstructionists
is to delay reorganization of the Bu¬
reau of Engineering, and hamper the
work of starting the needed improve¬
ments.
Mr, Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, I would like to
say something on Ihis bill. The oppo¬
sition that I have to them is that they
create a brand new unit In the office
of the man who is to supervise the
management of the Bureau of Water.
There is no desire on che part of any¬
body to prevent the reorganization of
the Bureau of Engineering und(‘r any
circi instances becau.se we have today
before us on our table several ordi¬
nances for the creation of now posi¬
tions in the bureau; but the figures
have been disputed by different gentle¬
men as to the amount of salaries, or
the amount of money that is involved,
and we also have the ordinance for
new positions to be paid out of bond
money, and the amount to be paid from
tax levy is nearly $200,000 over and
above all these other salaries.
These ordinances are similar to the
other ordinances mentioned by Mr.
English and Mr. Herron relative to the
proposed ordinance for the Mayview
Hospital improvements. They propose
to go out and get new experts and
work out the program in the same way
in which the ordinance presented the
other day for Mayview proposes, and
over which so much obiection has been
raised.
So far as the Mayor’s program is
concerned, I am willing to go ahead
with that with a free heart and i
greater desire than some other*, but
I am not going to allow the atatemfnt
that he approved it to go unchallcnH
and swallow that whole program with¬
out analyzing it.
Ju'^t lot me recall, another ordinanc*
that was presented is not before
today, which increased the salary of an
engineer in the Bureau of Highwaya
and Sewers from $3,600.00 to $6.500.W.
and demoted the man in charge of th«
Bureau of Highways and Sewera, at
lea*st in title from that of Superin¬
tendent to Superviscr, and this
Superintendent has been honored by the
Director of the Department of Tubll.
Works by writing him a letter, whlfh
was published in the newspaper*, la
the effect that he ha.s in his bureaa
done twice as much work this year la
the Asphalt Division than was done
all last year. I do not know whethK
it is true; I am only taking the utory
as printed. That ordinance came h
and demoted that man in title and
provided for putting another engineer
at $6,500.00 and a good engineer, too.
but who ha.s been working all hi* Ilf*
for $3,600.00. in his pbice; and the nrxt
day, notwithstanding the fact that
was recommended by the .^ame engi¬
neer of the Department of f'ubli.
Works, they came in and said It Wi.«
a mistake, and they only wanted (o pay
the engineer $4,400.00, and did not want
to make a dhange in that bureau. TU:
may be a mistake. Possibly they may
have made some other mistake* her*
I am onU’^ acting on this thii.g Ii
this manner because I think we shoald
go slow. I am not going to prevest
the passage of these other engineerm*
ordinances, but I cannot give my tol*
to Bill Nos. 1479 and 1180.
I want to call your attention to \Y‘
fact that these two ordinances pro»14-
for the hiring of two men at higher
salaries than have been paid anybody
for similar work, except the proposol
to engage the present chief englnr^f
As far as paying the same high »Uf'
ies as the County is concerned. If we
are going to put ourselves in the poot-
tion of bidding for these sexrlcoi
against the County, and get back tV

when we did r^ot have much to do. tad
every time these engineers come bjwt

ary, we are going to be In bad.
have in our department many go*4
engineers who have been willing U
work for $4,000.00 or IMOOOd ud
are perfectly willing yet to continw
that salary. They have not jumped
t
«lhfr poMtlons, but have stayed with
th« City. The iSupcrintendcnt of
Hridffrs left the City some lime ago
ind came back at a salary increase. I
im Kiad he came bai;k. because he is a
rood engineer. Don’t let us compete in
ttltries with' Allegheny County.
I do not believe there is any out-
•Undlng Items in this bond issue v/hich
the men on the job at the present time
ftnnot undertake and execute with
credit to themselves and the City of
PIltKburgh.
President Winters called Mr. Alder-
lice to the Chair, and, taking the
door, said;
Gentlemen, as all the members
of rouncU have expressed them.selves
on this question, I want to say a few
words. I am Just concerned in a way
as to whether the opiwsition is to the
Indlrlduals or the amount of money
that Is Involved. Mr. McArdle ex¬
pressed my vlewroint when he brought
oal, in a few concise words, just how
much of a saving this amounts to. As
I recall, in the committee, my friends
In the opposition were not In favor of
shollshlng these positions. In fact, T
Wlleve a motion was made that the
•alar>- l>e made $sj,500.00, and Mr. Ilep-
pwt answered that by saying that the
n>k( Engineer of the City who
would be promoted would suffer a re¬
duction In wages of $1,000.00 if that
motion prevailed. I presume that if
tba salary were made $5,500.00 that
)a these two positions there would be
a saving of $4,000.00, and in the one
^tion of $4,800.00, against wliich
tVre was opposition, and for which
aa amendment of $3,800.00 was pro-
which makes substantially a dif-
ferrnce between the nine members of
«>sficll on this whole proposition of
So I do not want the false
UnprwMiion that seems to go out
•hfough some of the newspaper col-
5 «ns that a great saving is to be
effected by eliminating these two jobs,
ind I have no evidence that there are
siare than three positions involved,
«4 that they will cause more than
of an Increase in the salary
s^oprlation.
Why am I for this difference? Be-
'aujw we went through an experience
it the last bond issue costly to the
Cty of Mttsburgh. I wish to call
atimilon to the fact that conditions
ta the engineering department were in
nA shape when the 1919 bond issue
HaM were put through that, through
iwfowpei^^nce or a lack of organiza-
tiiflt or some other reason, put a bur¬
ls* upon the taxpayers that is far
beyond the question of $5,000.00 in¬
volved in the setup of these positions.
Let me call your attention to the
fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has a .suit against the City
of Pittsburgh because of the mistakes
in the Engineering Bureau at that
time of $1,000,000, because of the Bige¬
low boulevard slide. Let me call
your attention to the fact that the
widening of the Boulevard of Allies on
Second avenue was underestimated
about .$1,000,000. Let me call your
attention to the fact that by the same
reason the Mount Wa.shington roadway
project had to be abandoned for a
while and fought through the Courts;
and this project was underestimated
about $800,000.00. There was an un¬
derestimate cost on the improvement of
Irvine street. The Irwin Avenue Bridge
on the North Side ha.s never been done.
The East Street Bridge was under¬
estimated probably $400,000.00 or
$500,000.00.
Because of those mistakes, hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
saddled onto the taxpayers of the City
of Pittsburgh, and this because of in¬
efficiency or lack of organization In tlie
Engineering Department.
Tile Mayor of the City came before
us and he dil, in answer to my ques¬
tion, say that this was his program
and he wanted it and asked us to
carry it out. He said, in answer to a
question that if he could get along
without these positions, '‘Ye.s, with a
lesser degree of efficiency," and in or¬
der that he and his administration
would not be held responsible he asked
that this program be given him.
In view of past experiences, it seems
wise to give the department efficient
engineers, particularly wlien the amount
in dispute between the members of
council is only $5,000.00, this being the
diffei ence between the salaries of two
men at $7,500.00 each, as requested by
Mr. Keppert, and $5,000.00 each as
offered in Mr. Malone’s amendment last
week.
I want to call your attention to the
fact that I a.sked the Director of the
Department of Public Works what
would become of these positions after
the bond work was finished, and he
gave his word to this council that he
would not keep these men on, and
would not expect the city to pay them
after that work was done, and I called
his attention to the fact that that wa.s
stated before and never carried out,
and he said, "You never got such a
promise from me before." Therefore,
I accept the word of the Director that
these men will terminate their serv¬
ices as soon as the bond work is
completed.
I want to say that the Director of
the Department of Public Works is the
most active and sincere man that has
ever held this position. He does not
pose as a man who knows it all. He
is willing to accept the advise of others
and he is earnest and sincere in having
this program approved by council.
If my friends in the opposition were
sincere, why is it that a motion was
made in committee last week to in¬
crease all chief clerks to $2,750.00
when no proposition for such a move
was in the ordinance under discussion?
Why is it that in the Bureau of
Highways and Sewers, at the solicita¬
tion of one of my friends, an increase
was put in for one of the employees
that the department which was not
asked for? And just a week ago, all of
the members in the opposition to these
ordinances under discussion voted to
amend the ordinance of the Department
of City Transit by increasing the sal¬
ary of the Chief Engineer or Director
of that department from $8,000,00 to
$ 10 , 000 . 00 .
I doubt the sincerity of the objectors
to the Mayor's program on the grounds
of economy, and believe their real ob¬
jection is to who possibly may be
called upon to All the places. I recall
that las't spring, when I tried to halt
a move to create jo-bs and raise wages
in the police and fire bureaus, I did
not have the support of the councll-
men who are now trying to effect a re¬
trenchment policy.
This program of the administration,
if carried out, will act as a corrective
measure and as a guarantee against a
repetition of former errors in engi¬
neering matters.
President Winters resumed the Chair,
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I sent down to
the Engineering Department for a cor¬
rect statement as to what these ordi¬
nances amount to In the way of salary
increases.
The report I received Is that the
salaries of the tax men, where salaries
are proposed to be increased Is
$16,392-00. It means a change In posi¬
tion or titles of 49 men, and eliminates
40 positions, so there will be a net
actual decrease of 9 men. or a total of
$15,000.00 in salaries.
On the bond issue positions, the total
to be authorized would be $340,560.00
per year, if all positions were filled at
onco, which would not be the case, and
this is about 3 per cent, of the co*i
of the bond work.
We have an efficient department to
carry on this work. They propose U-
do it for 3 per cent,, and when thr
people voted on these bonds, It
stated that it would he paying for the
cost of the Improvement, includini
engineering expenses.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, I would like to
know how many of these engineers will
get these jobs.
I would like to say something at thli
time about the .salary raise for Chief
Clerks. The reason the motion wm
made was to equalize the salary of
.all chief clerks in the City servlw.
and which was brought about by tho
calling up of one ordinance whkh
authorized an increase in salary for
the Chief Clerk in the Bureau of Engl*
neering, but did not authorize the wnw
salhry for all other chief clerk.s. Thai
was the only reason I had In present*
ing my motion. I wanted council on
record, with respect to this matter. I
have no objection to the increase In
salary for those mentioned In the ordi¬
nance, that is, the Chief Clerk and th»
other employees In the same depart¬
ment.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Unglish asked the Chair if any
arrangements had been made for coun¬
cil’s attending the SesQui-Oentennial
Exposition at Philadelphia.
The Chair stated
That he understood the mem¬
bers of council expected to go to Phil¬
adelphia on the 2 Ith in a body, and
that President Winters and Mr, Gar¬
land were making the necessary
arrangements; ^that he believed coun¬
cil was going with the General Com¬
mittee in a special car.
Mr. MAlone arose and said:
Mr. President: While we are
on tho question of the Sesqui-Genten-
nial, I would like to state that I have
information, which I atn not sure Is
correct, that the Sesqui-Centennial
Committee has engaged a man, not a
resident of Pittsburgh, living In Belle¬
vue, to be custodian of the Pittsburgh
Building at the Exposition in Philadel-
597
A
S*fi|
, fc. *• It ’
Bit: S' ii
phia, I wish to go on record as say¬
ing that no person should work in -that
building unless he is a resident of the
City of Pittsburgh.
I therefore move
That the Scsqui-Centennial
Committee be notified it is the sense
of council, if the Committee finds it
necessary to engage any employees of
a permanent nature, that said em-
])loyees be residents of the City of
Pittsburgh.
Mr, Malone continued
It may be necessary to engage some
people as janitors who might live in
Philadelphia, but such a position as
custodian or director in the building
showing visitors about, or any official
or oniploye of that sort, this council
believes should be residents of I'itts-
burgh.
And the question recurring on the
motion of Mr. Malone.
The motion prevailed.
The Chair, at this time, presented
No. 1600. An Ordinance au¬
thorizing the Mayor and the Director
of the Department of Public Works to
advertise for proposals and to award a
contract or contracts for the reclip-
plng of blockS'tone required for con¬
struction of traffic marker in the re¬
surfacing of Bigelow boulevard, from
'Seventh avenue to Craig s4.reet, and
providing for the payment of the cost
thereof.
Which was read and referred to the
Cornniittee on Public Works.
OFFICE OP THE MAYOR.
July 15th, 1926.
To the Honorable,
The Membsrs of Council,
City of IMttshurgh,
Gentlemen;
We received a communication from
you, bearing date of July 10th, 1926,
requesting us to give con.slderation
to a motion, “that it is your opinion
that Mr. Richard N. Neff, who is in the
employ of the City, is competent to
prepare the plans and sped fl cat ion.s
required for improvement.s at May-
view.”
After a oareful consideration of your
motion, we are of the opinion, (with¬
out any reflection whatsoever upon the
ability of Mr. Neff), that on account
of the trcmendou.s size of the pro¬
gram involved in this building opera¬
tion at May view, and the va.st amount
of work that will be required in Ih#
preparation of plans and apcciflcatloni.
for the siame, it would be Inadvlnabk
to place thi.s project in the handi of
the acting architect of the CMty, but
we feel that it should he placed In the
hands of a duly registered architect
and a member of the American
tute of Architects.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES H. KLINE.
Mayor.
MRS. ENfX'H RAUH,
Director, Department of
Public Welfare.
Which was read.
Mr. Malone moved
That the communication be r^
ferred to the Committee on PuWlo
Welfare.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Malone presented
No. 1602. Resolved, That iht
Director of the Department of Pubik
Works be instructed to permit the cot*
struction of a building for the care of
riding horses, said building to be ««•
structed at the co.st of the petitioner*,
under the supervision of the Depart¬
ment, and when the building in cvffi-
pie ted the Bureau of Parks shall mike
a budget showing the neces.sary em¬
ployees and also rental for .ntalls. ir
other charges for services.
Which was read.
Mr. Malone moved
The adoption of the resoIiKw*
Mr. Malone said;
Mr. President, I wish to rtJl
your attention to the fact that tb#
council some time ago received a pett
tion from quite a number of .subaU*-
tial men, headed by Judge Drew. W
Mellon and Mr. Gallery, aaklnK
council to provide a stable for riJiaf
horses at Schenley T^ark. The or4i-
nance was drawn in conformity U •
motion that was made In commlttn
authorizing the construction of suck »
stable. Then we received a
sketch from Mr. McDonald app*>im<^
on the committee and left word \W
the building under the .sketch wo*k
probably cost |9,000 or 110.000.
the petitioners would agree to pif ^
difference.
Since then, some of the pelitio«<^
have agreed to construct <he wink
building. They are going to pay tV
cost of the construction of a *uM
for riding horses in Schenley Part ^
H U ai^reeable to the council. Ordi-
nanly we would have to present an
•irwinent ordinance, but -this resolu¬
tion authorizes the Director of the
Dfpartmont of Public Works to allow
thfiie people to do this. He can make
up the proper agreement which is the
retaon for this resolution which the
will read and we can adopt today.
The Chair .said:
Mr. Malone, will it put the
building after comple»tion under their
)uri«di€tion or the jurisdiction of the
riiy?
Mr Malo&e saldr
The resolution covers that.
Mr Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I second the
motion for the purpose of asking a
^VMtlon. I was talking to Mr. Eng¬
lish and did not quite catch *tlie last
ftf Mr. Malone’s statement. Do I un-
dereUnd. Mr. Malone, they are to pay
the entire cost of the building?
Mr Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, that is the in¬
formation I have that these petition¬
er* will construct the building at their
own cost under the direction of the
Director of the Department of Public
Works, and after the building is con-
•imctPd they will ask the city to
iMintain it, for which the city will
make a rental charge for stalls to pay
the cost of maintenance, and they are
willing 10 pay a sufficient rental to
m the cost of maln*lenance. The rea-
«p|i for the resolution is so that w^e
ett authorize the Director to allow
them to go ahead with the construc¬
tion of the building, and they will pay
tt.e a*t of same. In other words, the
«eet of thl.s building will be borne by
them entirely; It will not cost the City
of Pittsburgh a penny, and they will
igr»e to pay a sufficient rental for the
•ullt and any other privileges, such as
loek*r*, etc. If the rental from stalls
i« not sufficient to take care of the
maintenance of the building, they will
a* glad to pay the cost of mainte¬
nance in proportion. If the.se petition¬
er* have horses to take care of all
the atalia, the rent vrill equalize the
mat of maintenance. The idea is to
fit* the etty of Pittsburgh the build-
i«| and provide sufficient Income for
mainteiwmce and employees.
The CluUr said:
ituppose a half-dozen men
bmlM (his stable and .some other peo-
pk want to rent a stall who had noth¬
ing do do with the construction of the
stable, will they be able to do so?
Mr. Malone arose and said:
The building after it is com¬
pleted will belong to the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President, these gentle¬
men wdll get their money backw
Mr. Malone arose and said:
No, sir; they will not.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. Presidend, there was a
committee appointed to make a report
on this matter. Is this resolution the
report of that committee?
Mr. Malone arose and said:
The committee reported by
presenting to us a plan at the last
committee meeting in which they told
us that the cost w’ould exceed the
original estimade of !fi (>,000.00 to S9,-
000.00, and this Is really the report of
that committee; yes, sir.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. English called up
Bill No. 1479. An Ordinance
entitled, ‘‘An Ordinance creating and
establishing new positions in the office
of the Chief Engineer in the Depart¬
ment of Public Wbrks, and providing
for the payment thereof."
In council, July 12, 1926, Bill read,
rule suspended, read a second and
dhird times, and failed to pass finally.
Which was read.
Mr. Malone moved
That further action on the bill
be indefinitely postponed.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:—
Owing to the unusual conditions
which presented themselves in the
Bureau of Recreation, which could not
have been foreseen when the budget
w'as prepared, we are placing before
you a situation that we believe should
have your careful, and if possible, fav¬
orable consideration.
Covering the subject in detail, we
hand you herewith a communication
from the Superintendent of the Bureau
of Recreation, which explains fully the
causes of this- apparent deficit, and if
it is your wish that the activities of
this Bureau continue for the balance
of the year, it will be necessary to
appropriate approximately $12,000.00
for the continuation of this work.
In addition to the letter of the
Superintendent, we give you herewith
a statement of the extraordinary ex¬
penses on the various playgrounds
amounting to $3,400.00, which were not
contemplated in the earlier part of
the year.
However, inasmuch as there are other
very Important calls upon your atten¬
tion by reason of the unusual amount
of work having been done In the vari¬
ous bureaus, we feel that you should
be fully advised of the condition in
the Bureau of Recreation, as suggest¬
ed in the enclosed communication.
607
Assuring you of our full appreciation
of the extraordinary conditions that
have been confronting us, and knowing
that you are anxious to do all you
can to meet the conditions, we leave
this matter for your wise and careful
consideration.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. DANG.
Director.

of bare necessities will leave a deficit
of approximately $11,700.00 on Decem¬
ber 31st.
This shortage is in the Division of
Grounds and Buildings, which cares for
the maintenance and repair of recrea¬
tional facilities and is distributed as
follows:
Code Account 1916— *
Misc'l. Ser.$2,000.00
Code Account 1919—
Repairs . 3,500.00
Code Account 1921—
Wages temporary employes
(labor) . 6,200.00
The shortage in Code Account 1916
Is due largely to the large amount of
team hire necessary in minor grading
and surfacing of playgrounds and ath¬
letic fields, and the additional amount
of truck hire for the distribution of
heavy equipment, such as slides,
swings, etc. With forty-one centers
In operation, eleven being new this
year, the one light truck operated by
the Bureau Is capable of caring for
only a small part of our truci'ing. On
some of the playgrounds where no at¬
tention has been given the grounds
for several years, a great deal of team
hire has been necessary. In addition
to this, the Bureau maintained ten
skating rinks during the winter months
for the first time in several years. The
banking of these areas for flooding
being an added expense.
In Code Account 1919 plumbing re
pairs alone, have exceeded five the#-
sand dollars ($5,000.00). In many to-
stances, where the budget was
upon repair estimates, complete new
installation.-? were neces.sary. In view
of the fact that in many in«Un»#
neglect of years standing had to bi
coped with. In the matter of electric*!
repairs which have exceeded twenty-
five hundred dollars t $2,500) the Mmi
circumstance was encountered. In pltet
of the repairs estimated, complete w*
placement was necessary in order to
protect from fire these buildings wblcb
are used by large numbers. The con¬
crete and cement repair work necei-
sary at swimming pools, also far ex¬
ceeded estimates on which the appro¬
priation was based.
Before the painters, provided for Uw
first * time this year, could be put W
work, a considerable amount of p!u-
tering repairs were necessary. Tb«
same general situation Is true in tlw
matter of roof repairs, iron and wiro
work, including window screens, itc
In Code Account 1921 consisting il-
most entirely of labor, the amount of
work necessary to put the groundi
at the forty-one centers into b*rrly
usable condition has far exceeded tie
funds available. Eleven of these
ters which the Bureau was pledged
to operate this year had lain idle for
years and in some instances, no vt
of these areas had been made herete-
fore. The maintenance of skttini
rinks, which proved exceedingly popu¬
lar, was an added burden this yetf.
All of the work done has been I*
response to Insistent demands from all
sources and can safely be incloM
in the category of bare necessUka
Unless it is possible to replenish tbsw
three codes with the sums speciM.
serious curtailment of the work of
the Bureau will be necessary dafiu
the remaining six months. The fosdi
requested do not involve creating an
new positions or making any Incrnj*
in compensation. The entire asm li
for repair and maintenance of groead*
and buildings. I would recomm^ai
therefore, that Council be requested te
set aside this additional sum of 111
700.00 in the three code accounts v
specified herein.

president and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Attached hereto for your Informa¬
tion is copy of a letter sent on July
8th to the Neeld Construction Com¬
pany who have the contract for the
demolition of the California Avenue
Bridge,
It Is expected that late this year the
erection of the new steel work for this
structure will be under way and that
the false work erected for the demoli¬
tion of the old bridge, together with
the steel tower of the old structure,
can be used to considerable advantage
by the contractor for the erection of
the new structure. Arrangements were,
therefore, made with the Neeld Con¬
struction Company by which this false
work would remain in place at no ad¬
ditional cost to the City beyond such
costs as will be necessary for red-
lighting. It is expected that, this will
effect a saving of several thousand dol¬
lars on our contract for the steel work
for the new structure.
The present false work partially ob¬
structs the sidewalks on McClure Ave¬
nue and both the sidewalks and road¬
way on Eckert Street. The matter
was, therefore, taken up locally and
letter received from Mr. George A.
Young, President of the Twenty-sev¬
enth Ward Board of Trade, giving their
position in the matter. A copy of
Mr. Young’s letter Is also attached.
The above information Is sent you
in order that you may be fully ad¬
vised as to the actions of the Depart¬
ment in reference to this structure.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.

Neeld Construction Co.,
Oliver Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa,
Gentlemen:
Under your contract for the demoli¬
tion of the California Avenue Bridge
certain false work has been erected
along the north main span. It Is be¬
lieved that this false work remaining
In place will affect a saving In the
erection of the new structure and you
are hereby authorized to leave it in
place together with the old steel tower
pier.
No additional compensation will bt
paid by the City for leaving this falnf
work in place and no deductions will
be made from your estimate for faHun
to remove the false work and the steel
in the old tower pier.
Following erection of the steel irort
for the new structure, the City will
require the Contractor on the contrict
for the erection of the steel to remow
this false work and the steel from Ih*-
present tower and to pile the wm#
on the site of the work. It will then
become your pixjperty and will be
moved by you.
The City will not be responsible tot
damage to the false work as It will
probably be necessary to alter the same
in some places to fit the new structurr.
Tours very truly,

Council Bills 1479 and 1480—Ordi¬
nances creating new positions in
the office of Chief Engineer, Dept,
of Public Works.
PtMident and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Oentlemen:
I would respectfully call your atten-
llen to the necessity for further con-
oration of the following Council
HIlit now pending In Council:
Council Bin 1479.
"An Ordinance, creating and es-
Ublithlng new positions in the ottice
of the Chief Engineer in the De¬
partment of Public Works, and pro-
Tidin* for the payment thereof.”
Council Bill 1480.
"An Ordinance, creating and es¬
tablishing new positions in the office
of tho Chief Engineer in the De¬
partment of Public Works, and pro-
Tldlng for the payment thereof from
proceeds derived from the .sale of
bonds.”
Consideration of these Council bills
H ioter-related with the authorizations
•bkb have recently been granted to
tbe Department for engineering posi¬
tions for both tax and bond work. In
this connection I would advise you that
tb* number of positions and the an-
•lal cost thereof chargeable to ap¬
propriations effective August 1 is as
foiiowi:
Three hundred forty-eight (348) po-
rtiont are authorized at an annual
iwe« coat to appropriations of $777,-
04 H. Prior to the passage of these
iHlaances the number of positions
utborlz<yl was 354 at an annual cost
to appropriations of $771,284.00, the
Ml iacreaae chargeable to appropria-
tieas therefore being $6,410.00.
I would further, however, advise
that the estimated amount o£ salaries
of tax employes chargeable to bond
account where said salaries are pro¬
rated is $58,000 per annum so that
the next cliarge against appropriations
for the appropriation payroll will be
reduced about $51,590 per annum dur¬
ing the period of the bond improve¬
ment work.
The number and annual cost of engi¬
neering positions payable out of bond
issue per ordinances effective August
1 is as follows:
One hundred forty-seven (147) posi¬
tions as authorized at a to-tal annual
cost of $333,568, The extent of the
payroll for bond employes is a very
moderate one taking into account the
magnitude of the Improvements to be
made. The estimated amount of bond
improvements to be handled by the
Department of Public Works, Including
contributions from the railroads, the
County, and the funds left over from
1919 Bond Issue Is in the neighborhood
of $15,000,000. We have predicated
our engineering cost at 6 per cent,
which is conservative.
For the purpose of comparison I
would advise that the cost of engi¬
neering of the 1919 Bond improve¬
ments based on the actual contract cost
was 7.6 per cent., this being the in¬
formation furnished me by Chief Ac-
cquntant under date of July 28, 1926.
In view of our responsibilities to
satisfactorily, economically, promptly,
and efficiently design and supervise
the construction of the bond improve¬
ments concurrently with a very ex¬
tensive ordinary improvement program
I believe that we are entirely war¬
ranted in requesting you to provide the
additional staff employes contemplated
In Council Bills 1479 and 1480. These
bills would add $33,630 to the engi¬
neering payroll, of which positions set
up under tax or appropriation account
in Bill 1479 would cost $12,300 per
annum and the bond positions set up
in BUI 1480 would cost $21,330 per
annum. As a matter of fact only
$1,800 of the total additional cost per
year of $33,630 is estimated as charge¬
able against appropriations. Further,
there are really only two positions
involved which are strictly of a de¬
partmental staff nature, viz: Assistant
Chief Engineer at $7,500 set up In
Council Bill H79 and the Departmental
Deslglng Engineer at $7,500 set up In
Bill 1480.
The balance of the positions are set
up mainly to take care of the require¬
ments of the playground Improvements,
613
the physical cost of which is estimat¬
ed in the neighborhood of $400,000.
With regard to the two positions
above mentioned it is our opinion that
unless same are provided that the pro¬
gress of the bond improvement program
will be very considerably delayed. W'e
would therefore in conclusion respect¬
fully ask further consideration of the.se
bills.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.

Mr. Daniel Winters,
Chairman of City Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
I note in the Press that an ordi¬
nance was presented to Council giving
Parking Lease on Allegheny Wharf to
a person or private concern.
I want to enter protest against
leasing the Allegheny Wharf or any
other part of any city wharvea to
anyone that does not Intend to maw
use of it in connection with rlT*r
commerce.
It is contrary to the law, regardlnir
the city’s right in the matter, an4
the Wharves should always be res^nrH
for river commerce, and I hope Coun¬
cil will keep the wharves alwaya for
what they were originally given h
the city, and that is a Public Landlni
for river commerce.
Yours truly,

No. 1717.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
August 3, 1926.
President and Members of Council,
•City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
The Allegheny County Steam Heat¬
ing Cdmpany request permission to in¬
stall steam service to the new Press
Building on Block House Way and
Second Avenue, which will necessitate
placing their piping overhead on either
P. C. & W. or P. R. R. viaduct, the
extension beginning at Penn avenue.
The franchise under which this com¬
pany operates in the City of Pittsburgh
does not provide for overhead service
and as it is imperative that work be
started on this installation before the
necessity for heating in the Press
Building arises, this company desires
permission to begin work as quickly
as possible, and upon Council recon¬
vening in September they will present
a special ordinance covering this con¬
struction.
Granting this request to the Alle¬
gheny County Steam Heating Company
will operate as an economy to the City,
also will be a great saving to the
said Allegheny County Steam Heating
Company, and also to the Press Pub¬
lishing Company, whose plant they
contemplate heating, and they will not
operate against the property Interests
of the City at large.
We trust that this will have your
early and favorable consideration, ms it
will be necessary to have the work
under way at the earliest possible
time so that Press Publishing Com¬
pany may be served at an early date.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.

pany for making steam connections

President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
In recent years, many privately
paved streets have been accei)ted by
>the City, after the acceptance of
which It was learned that they were
cheaply and flimsily constructed and
not in keeping with the standard of
the street construction of the Depart¬
ment. These acceptances have been
the source of a very great outlay by
the City, and we would respectfully
suggest that when petitions are made
to Council for the taking over of a
privately owned street, that the matter
be referred to this Departmen-t for In¬
vestigation and report before the final
acceptance of any such streets.
We believe that should this policy be
carried out and notice given to ’those
who construct streets privately, that it
will have a tendency to standardize
the construction of these privately
paved roads or streets in keeping with
the standards of the Department.
Trusting -that this matter will have
your usual prompt and careful consid¬
eration and awaiting your advices, we
remain.
Yours very truly,

'VhercHS. Our business interests are
<nnfcd in a 'Forward Movement" or
to place our City in its right-
ft| position as well as to establish
iMlthler and better living conditions;
Whereas. Pittsburgh, by reason of
its splendid development of electric
power, and the largely increased use
•f rorrent by those engaged in manu-
fictoring and mercantile pursuits, has
Wfome known as 'The Electric City,*
without divesting it of Us well rocog-
<ltle. 'The Steel City’; and
Wbfreas. The emission of smoke not
'uly mrans Inefficiency and lack of
rssfomy. but places a great expense
a*i4 annoyance on every household In
r>aninf and renewing of wall paper,
extra laundering of curtains, hangings,
etc., besides being a detriment to the
health of our people; and
Whereas, Under our Smoke Abate¬
ment Ordinance, merchants, manufac¬
turers, office buildings and others are
generally complying wHh the provi¬
sions thereof, among the principal
offenders being the Steam Railroads;
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Mayor be re¬
quested to direct an inquiry to the
proper officials of the various Steam
Railroads entering the City in order
to ascertain what steps are being taken
to electriy their suburban lines, hav¬
ing particularly in mmd the expedition
of the general installation of electrifi¬
cation.”
And now, Whereas, No known steps
have yet been taken In Pittsburgh
along the lines of electrification within
our district limits by the Steam Rail¬
roads entering this territory, we being
lamentably behind other leading cities
in this connection, the most recent
notable installation being in Chicago,
where about a month ago ‘‘electrifica-
tion was celebrated by a pageant, a
parade and a banquet; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the President of
Council confer with the Mayor and
arrange for a conference at the earli¬
est possible date between the official
representatives of the Railroads and
the Mayor and members of this Coun¬
cil, in order that there may be a full
discussion of this important subject.

Ur. Robert Clark, City Clerk,
atjr of Pittsburgh.
Dear 6lr:
In reference to Bill No. 1786, An
Ordinance authorizing the purchase of
r*rtaln real estate in the Sixth Ward
M the City of Pittsburgh, County of
Allefheny and State of Pennsylvania,
'fom Reese I>. Alsop, Culielma F.
Alsop. Mary Sture-Vasa and Elizabeth
F. Shepard, for the sum of $25,600.00;
from the William C. Denny Estate,
tor the sum of $21,000.00; from J.
Dr^naldaon Paxton, for the sum of
IIS.MO.OO. and from the Specialty
Kittrese Company, for the sum of
IU,7S(i.OO, which was presented in
^ndl on September 13th, I have to
adflM that the Ordinance was given
rartful consideration by the Planning
CommUsion at Its regular meeting on
ths l^th instant.
The Commission is strongly of the
rtpiulon that the playground report of
the Citizens Committee on City Plan,
1120, should be restudled and
brwfhl up to date by the Bureau of
Recreation and the Department of
City Planning, as the first step in pre-
ivlnf for th3 expenditure of the un-
♦fpended playground bonds of 1919 and
th« additional amount authorized In the
lilt Bond Issue. This study would
Iwelop the relative demands of the
wlotf sections of the City for play-
fTMmds and recreation centers.
Following such research work and
•tadf, it would be possible to evalu¬
ate the needs of the various sections
•f the City and permit of a proper
fftrfbuUcn of the funds to provide
for the most urgent oases by the
purchase of additional sites or by the
proper development or rehabilitation
of sites already owned by the City.
The Commission, therefore, recom¬
mends that, pursuant to such study,
a tentative set-up be made for the
allocation of all the funds available,
by definitely specifying the kind and
amount of work to be done on the
various sites, at present owned, and
the areas to be purchased for new
playgrounds, before the expenditure of
any money out of this fund for any
purpose
The Commission further recommends
that final action on this ordinance be
delayed until such report and allo¬
cation of funds is submitted for con¬
sideration of council.
Yours very truly,
U, N. ARTHUR,
Chief Engineer.
Which was read, received and filed.
Mr. Garland moved
That the bill be recommitted
to the Committee on Finance for fur¬
ther consideration.
And Mr. Garland said:
Mr. Pre.sidcnt, the reason I
make this motion is very apparent. It
was brought up In the committee last
week. The members of council, the
Mayor, the Director of the Department
of Public Works and every person in¬
terested In the bond issue had a full
and distinct understanding that the
$750,000.00 item was for the comple¬
tion of present playgrounds, and that
seemed to be a sane policy to pursue.
We have been pursuing that right
along since the bond 'issue was passed
and I might say before the bond issue
was submitted to the people. We had
many inquiries to purchase properties
for new playgrounds and swimming
pools and these were laid over for
the bond Issue. We should take care
of existing playgrounds before spend¬
ing 10 per cent, of the amount of the
bond item for new plaj'grounds, not
endorsed by the department, nor given
any study by the City Planning Com¬
mission previous to the introduction
of the ordinance now before us, and
on which they are now asking us to
be slow in moving, and recommend
that we first equip our present play¬
grounds.
Wc have some requests from wards
in the City where there is no play¬
ground. In this particular section
there are three playgrounds within a
half-mile of each other.
669
It should be the policy of the coun¬
cil, in order to follow out the ideas of
the Citizens Committee on City Plan
and these other bodies, to go a
little slow. If we do not heed
the recommendations of the Citizens
Committee on City Plan, we might
just as well say we don’t want this
committee and its recommendations
in these matters. We know they
pay their own expenses and among its
members are some of the largest prop¬
erty owners of the City, and they
spent $60,000 to $80,000 Of their own
money. They have surveyed the whole
city, showed where playgrounds are
required; given careful consideration
to the question of congestion; of
neighborhood school attendance; juve¬
nile delinquency, etc. W^e are hand¬
ing them a slap in the face if we do
a thing like thii.s. There should be no
Citizens Committee on City Plan If we
do noit want to accept their recom¬
mendations. We are simply stampeded.
It looks like political expediency, and
that it is being done because certain
politicians who vote 100 per cent,
strong desire this, and v.'e refuse to
accept the recommendations of those
who have given this subject careful
study, and at the same time go against
our own judgment.
There is no deal on for this prop¬
erty. This has been brought about by
a dispute of the abutting property
owners because of the zoning classifi¬
cation on the property, and because of
the fact thait no compromise could be
made so far as the zoning of the prop¬
erty was concerned. It has been sug¬
gested that we purchase the property
for a playground; but it should not
take precedent over existing play¬
grounds which have no equipment.
Take one of our larges-t playgrounds,
in the Sbho District, which could be
equipped with an amphitheater, which
is without any play equipment, and we
could perhaps spend $60,000.00 in this
populou.s neighborhood.
I am not objecting to council buy¬
ing a playground where the majority
vote prevails, hut I believe we should
proceed in a sane and orderly man¬
ner. We have many requests for play¬
grounds and we are not proceeding in
the right manner when we do not go
right foot first, and we owe it to the
people of Pittsburgh to put the pres¬
ent playgrounds in shape to play on,
and if there is any money left it could
be used to buy new grounds. That is
the reason I ask -that this ordinance
be recommitted to the Committee on
Finance for further consideration.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I did not Intend
to say a word on this ordinance, but
I cannot allow the statements of ihi
previous speaker to go unchallonifed.
I wish to state for record purpos^i
that the members of council reduce!
the playground Item In the recent bond
issue because it was necessary to kf<p
the whole bond issue within cerUtn
limitations, and in compliance with
this suggestion this amount as agreed
upon was $750,000.00 to be known ti
the playground item, and first It wu
considered that we would buy some
new playgrounds and enulp others, and
that idea later was abandoned. I be¬
lieve the department is now working
on a very good plan, a comprtherwlte
plan whereby they intend to impr^re
and equip a few playgrounds. I do
not like to have people believe that we
are doing this because we are stsin-
peded or because it is to pay off
political debts. I was charged tbe
same way when I voted to purchsse
the Dean Playgrounds, but it was not
by the same member of oouncll.
With respect to the recommends-
tions of the Citizens Committee o«
City Plan, I wish to state that, not¬
withstanding the objections of this
committee, the council authorised th*
purchase of property on the South 8ld«
hilltop, and this playground is now
known as Winters Playground, and wt
were told that it was a shame to buy
that playground because of Its topog¬
raphy and that it was only a waste of
city money. I want to say that I tIs-
ited that playground recently and
more small children playing there this
at any other playground in the City
of Pittsburgh, with the possible «*
ception of the North Side Park.
I do not want to have it construed
that we are slapping that committee
In the face. We accept at lea.**! pet
cent, of their recommendations After
all, they are not members of council
If they expect us to accept lOd pee
cent, of their recommendations they
are unfair. Each member of counriJ
is entitled to his own opinion, and be¬
cause of his stand on this or snj
other question his motive should n^t
be impugned by anyone. We can iasi
at these subjects without casting
aspersions on one another, and I ***
no reason why this ordinance shotJd
be referred back to committee for ••
to be scolded once more after we ba"
made up our minds.
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President, I am going ti
vole for this ordinance because I tbiib
j
670
(hft property to be purchased can be
bouirhft for a reasonable price and at
»time when it Is vacant. At the same
time f want it understood that so far
w the charge is made that we are
dolnic this for political reasons makes
wrjr little difference to me. I am
not going to fall out with my po-
lUtcal friends who may be for or
igainat this ordinance.
Every time there ts a proposition
lebmlUed to council to purchase prop¬
erty for playgrounds we are criticized.
There arc millions of dollars spent for
■treet Improvements, and if the peo¬
ple In one section do not get what they
request the council! is accused of
favoring those districts which do re¬
ceive Improvements, and the same
thing i* true in the matter of play-
rrounda. Regardless of the worthy
rtcommendatlons of the Citizens Com¬
mittee on City Plan, I believe this
pfopoalllon Is a good one and for that
fVMon I intend voting for the ordi-
narce.
And the question recurring, “-Shall
(he bill bo recommitted to the Com¬
mittee on Finance?”
The motion did not prevail.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr President, 1 would like to
my that this is one of the bills that
the council ought to pass. We hear
«ine people making statements that
»e ahonld sit down and act upon these
things In rotation. We hear consider¬
able concerning the recommendations
ftf the Citizens Committee on City Plan
with reference to the playground pro-
nm. I do not believe that any mcm-
har of this council has in any manner
fell that they should not live up to
the recommendations of that body just
aa closely as they can, but unfortu-
ialely the council Is offered from lime
te time places that do not seem to
meet the approval of the Citizens
remmittee on City Plan, and the mem-
of council and the citizens of the
particular district In which the prop¬
erty offered is located believe it is a
rood location for a playground. We
hate lived up to a large extent to the
profTtm submitted by the Citizens
^-':mmlUee on City Plan, and I do
•ot kiwvr of a location In Pittsburgh
vhew this Commission has nod recom-
•mded a playground, but they have
•hem in numerical order and this prop¬
erty may be one hundred and tenth on
their lUt
i can recall of one location which If
»♦ had bought years ago, we could
have secured for probably one-tenth
the price that is now asked, and that
particular location Is one, two or three
on tho Citizens Committee on City
Plan list.
If we do not take these available
places as they are presented from
time to time as quickly as we can,
before they have buildings erected
thereon, the children of the future are
not going to have any playgrounds at
all, except those which we have today.
I can recall in the 1919 bond issue
out of that money $81,000.00 was set
aside for the purchase of property in
the Hill District, but up until the
present time the council has not been
able to buy the property recommended
at Elm, Hazel and Franklin streets be¬
cause it costs $200,000.00 on account of
the fact that it Is solidly built upon.
If we are going to allow places such
as this and others presented from
Elliott and on the North Side, the
Morningside District and the South
Side that are vacant now, and can be
purchased at a great deal less 'than
they can in 10 or 15 years from now,
we will be put in the position of not
having them at all or paying many
times more for them than we can get
them for now.
Every member of council wanted to
put in this appropriation twide as
much money a.s was voted upon and
approved, and I agree with Mr. Her¬
ron that there was no agreement made
as to how this money is to be spent
because we have conflicting stories as
to what the pledges were with regards
to this recreation matter. One group
advocates in an open letter that wc
promised $250,000,00 for a golf course;
another group states we promised not
to buy any new ground until such a
time as we had fully equipped our
present playgrounds.
I agree with Mr. Herron again. I
believe he was the man who said that
we will have some money to equip
some of the playgrounds and perhaps
all, and also buy more ground for the
future development of playgrounds. It
is unfortunate that we cannot equip
all our existing playgrounds, and it Is
also unfortunate that we do not con¬
trol all the grounds that are now used
for play purposes. But you know
that it is impossible for the City to
purchase all these grounds, and dur¬
ing the time they are used for play
purposes the City exonerates the own-
er.s from the payment of city taxes. It
would be very fine if we could tell
our Law Department and Department
671
of Assessors to buy for us all those
grounds because w© will need them In
16 years. But, as everybody knows, ft
Is a physical Impossibility to do this
because of our lack of finances.
I presented the report of the Citi¬
zens Committee on City Plan and we
are not going to slap them in »the face,
because, as Mr. Herron says, we have
followed their recommendation In prac¬
tically 90 per cent, of these cases. In
one case the Citizens Committee on
City Plan opposed the purchase of prop¬
erty on the hillside above the South
Side, because, as they said, it was nod
adapted to playground purposes; and,
notwithstanding this objection, the
council authorized the purchase of this
property, and, as Mr. Herron says, and
Mr, Garland knows, we are presented
with a very fine spectacle practically
every day with thousands of children
enjoying the play on these grounds.
Therefore, I am going to vote for
this ordinance because it Is going to
be a playground for the children of
the future,
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, when the bill
was before the committee I opposed
the motion to return it to council with
an affirmative recommendation, and I
purpoa.) voting against its passage to¬
day Just as I did against its affirma¬
tive recommendation
I am not now In a position to pass
with any definite degree of accurate
judgment upon the merits or demerits
of this particular piece of ground as a
playground. I am, however, mindful
of the fact that we only have a cer¬
tain amount of finances that will per¬
mit us to spend only the amount of
money available in this bond fund for
recreational purposes
In my judgment, the outstanding
need, I would call the Imperative need,
of Pittsburgh, Is to do one of two
thing.s to elt.ier make something out
of its existing playgrounds or abandon
the idea of tr^ng to furnish recrea¬
tion under that kind of a guise, and
every one In council knows that we
have a great number of playgrounds
unequipped, and If they do not. they
need only refer to the reports made
to council by the departments from
time to time In which they report that
on a great number of them nothing
has been done in the way of furnish¬
ing equipment and making them useful
to the children of the neighborhood.
WThen we discussed this Item my
recollection Is that we wer© to spend
at least $400,000.00 to $460,000.11
this money in equipping existing
grounds. That was rather s
program, I will admit, because no m
in the department, nor the Mayor, aif
anybody else, knows what oukM I*
' be spent in existing playground*. 6<i
' a clearly defined idea among thesi
professed to know something aboel Os
cost of equipping existing playgro w iOi
that would be the minimum araoett
and If that would be true we woeX
have the difference between that aM
the amount remaining in the OoM
issue to apply on new addltlona to m
present holdings. Therefore, we oufM
to at least know something what oif
problem Is In that respect before tt
start upon a purchase of new groutXt
This particular piece of grounl X
my judgment, Is in a rather dlffwiai
position. This Is not a commeRlti
that is suffering from the want k
playgrounds. ThI.s particular a«ifl>*
borhood has been well taken car# if
in the matter of playgrounda,
within a radius of three or feer
block.s there is an existing playgrewii
This did not come to un an a gti?*
ground proposition; It came inddieui
to a dispute as to what use could ►
made of the property by the priiik
owners, and we have never gone
it as a playground proposition. 1 H
not think any memlber of council cmX
tell how many square feet of epace X
in this property; I know ] could Mi
I know that it was before thia bndi
for many months with a dispute m
Ing as to what the private owain
could do to make the beat um of it
and the people of the nelghborM
came to us on two or three ocraiim
not to ask us to provide a playgmeei
but to change the uses to which thi
property could be used under the im*
ing ordinance so that those ui^
not disturb them in the use of HmX
property. And somebody, apperwitb.
later had the happy thought thet «(
would make a good playground, ud
the City would purchase It for a
ground it would solve all dispslie m
to its uses It. therefore, came be¬
fore US as a proposition to settle Xs
dispute among private owners
Now, I contend, that we are « Xsf
way off of being in the posltkm sbwe
we can afford to spend
any of our funds for the primary pt-
pose to settle a dispute amoar
vate property owners. And I ttxi
that that is really the largest |»** j
that has ever been played in the
thing fro mthat day to this, biMtM I
672
rio* 4 t that that never had been
!hr««h«(l out very fully, although ref-
tfwiK* to the neceaalty of the purchase
•f «a additional recreational ground In
•\\t particular neighborhood had been
nM,i^ which lay» virtually within a
Plrp and a Jump from one of the
M playgrounds in the City of Fitts-
And If you survey around the
«*<tN)n generally you will find that it
• probably provided with the best
;liat the city has so far done In the
t»y of recreation for any other section
f4 the city. Therefore, I would ven-
‘•ff th'> prediction that with L#awronce,
Amcotl, and Dean playgrounds they
tho best equipped playgrounds,
«id what they need Is a fuller use of
•Jw fKlstlng playgrounds rather than
u ripfndUure of money for aeguisi-
!i«« of new ground. I believe the
:A>eMlty of that community Is not
rwh u to warrant the immediate pas-
of this bill without having It
ir,-,«idered with respect to Its rela-
T# merits with all the other problems

Mr. President, have we a re-

TV Clair said:
I will as:< the clerk. Do you
taw farti a report, Mr, Clerk
The Clerk (Mr. Clark) said:
No, sir.
Mr. Oarland said:
Did you ever receive one?
The Clerk (Mr. Clark) said:
'No, sir.
Mr. Oarland said:
Did you receive a report from
the Department of Public Works rec¬
ommending or opposing this property
for playgrounds?
The Clerk (Mr. Clark) said:
No, sir.
Mr. Oarland said:
None from the Bureau of Rec¬
reation?
The Clerk (Mr. Clark) said:
No, sir.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, for the benefit
of Mr. Oarland, I wish to state that
there was a report submitted by the
Bureau of Recreation In which they
ojpo.scd this proposition. They sub¬
mitted a report some time ago.
Mr. Oarland arose and said:
Mf, President, was there a re¬
port fiom the Bureau of Recreation on
this ordinance?
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, they did not
submit a report specifically on this
ordinance, but on a prior request sent
them they reported against the propo¬
sition.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I am not alto¬
gether clear on the subject, but I
think that the matter had been re¬
ferred to the Bureau of Recreation
prior to the Introduction of this ordi¬
nance and they reported against It, as
Mr. Malone said.
The Chair said:
It has never been submitted to
oouneil, to my knowledge. I think It
originated In committee on a previous
re<iuo6t of the citizers of that neigh¬
borhood to purchase the property for
playgrounds, and when the clerk says
4hat a report was never submitted he
Is in error. If we are to make a rec¬
ord here today we want to make a
correct record. It would be unfair to
say that the Deimrtment did not make
a report, and In order to clear the
673
matter I would ask the Clerk to get
the record.
The Clerk, after looking the matter
up, returned.
Mr. Q^arland arose and said:
Mr. Clerk, did the Finance
Committee ask for a report on this
property?
The Clerk (Mr Clark) said:
Yes, sir.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, did the depart¬
ment declare against it?
The Chair said:
The Clerk seems to be In
doubt about it.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, we have a de¬
partment of Public Works and we
have a Bureau of Recreation. Has the
department recommend against this,
or was it the Bureau of Recreation?
We want the record correct. If the
Bureau recommended against this, then
the record should .show that. We do
not want to be technical In this
matter.
The Chair said:
The Clerk has look<;d up the
matter and we will get the record, as
there will be no dispute in the mat¬
ter. Mr, Clerk, have you the record?

Memorandum.
From: Superintendent, Bureau of Rec¬
reation
To: Director, Department of Public
Works
Date: May 5th. 1926.
Subject: Report on Bill 847, request
for purchase of property in
6th Ward.
Replying to the request of the
Finance Committee, transmitted to this
office under date of April 22nd, for a
report on Bill No. 847—“Petition of
residents of the 6th Ward, requesting
council to purchase certain property
for playground purposes.
The property referred to is advan¬
tageously located for a playground and
would require very little grading.
While the Arsenal and Bloomfield play¬
grounds are not convenient for small
children living in the vicinity of the
property recommended for purchase,
there are a number of districts much
more congested than this one, for
which no rtcreation facilities what¬
ever are available and where the need
for acquisition of property Is, there¬
fore, more urgent.
In my opinion the ultimate acquisi¬
tion of the property referred to might
bo to advantage, but, in view of the
fact that the amount provided In the
Bond Issue, now before the people,
will leave a very small sum for acqui¬
sition of new sites, when the improve¬
ment of property now owned is taken
care of, I would not recommend the
purchase of this property at this time.

Subject; Sixty-Pay Trial of Pittsburgh
Motor Coach Company Routes and
Stops.
To the President and Members
of City Council.
Gentlemen:
For some months now, this depart¬
ment has been working on the matter
of improving loading and unloading
fonditlons of busses, especially in the
downtown district With no designat¬
ed has or "motor coach" stops, the
public expects the driver to stop
alRMMt anywhere to pick them up or
diKharge them. At some places such
flopping is very detrimental to traffic.
Certain improvements in downtown
routing have also been discussed.
Aa a result of this work, revised
Fittaburgh Motor Coach Company rout-
iaw downtown have been worked out
aud the locations of definite stops have
bora developed for these revised routes,
•dlevlng that these revised routes and
dednlte loading points will be of benefit
ta traffic, a sixty-day trial of said routes
Mid flops has been decided upon. These
aiattere have been considered by the
•rtler Traffic Committee, and the com-
aitue hau voted in favor of a sixty-
day trial
At the same time, it is felt desirable
la Include in the sixty-day trial the
•te of proposed stopping points along
entire routes—these having been
woraed out by this department In con¬
junction with the officials o the Pitts-
hfrxh Motor Coach Company.
Because of the repaving of the Bige¬
low boulevard, the sixty-day trial for
that entire route and its stops will
officially start The

stops will commence

And the following Is a report of
tW proceedings at the Philadelphia
*»m!ii*Centennial Exposition on Satur-
IV. September 25, 1926:
Hoa. Charles H Kline, Mayor, head¬
ed the Pittsburgh delegation, which
Mfi the Bellevue Stratford hotel at
IkM A If., and proceeded do the ex¬
position grounds, accompanied through
the grounds to the expanse fronting
the Pittsburgh building by detach¬
ments from the Army and the Ma¬
rines, where the exercises were held.
Hundreds of spectators, mostly Pitts¬
burghers and former Pittsburghers,
formed the audience. Upon the plat¬
form were the Mayor and Mrs. Charles
H. Kline, President Daniel Winters
and Messrs. Charles Anderson, Robert
Garland, John S. Herron, James F.
Malone and P. J. McArdle, members
of Council, and Messrs. Wim. T. Kerr,
A. R, Hamilton, and Edward B. Lee, Miss
Marie Dermltt and Chairman Wm. H.
Stevenson, of the citizens’ committee
in charge of the celebration. Mr.
Kerr called the meeting do order, and
announced that Victor Saudek of KDKA
musical fame, had been honored with
permission to direct the army band
In its first number.
Mr. Wm. T. Kerr then Introduced
Chairman Wm. H. Stevenson, who pre¬
sided. The Pennsylvania Railroad quar¬
tette. composed of E. P. Byers, I. P.
Schaffer, R. M. Gibb and F. W. Schoel-
ler, sang several of Stephen C. Fos¬
ter’s compositions.
The adtack of the Indians on the
replica of Pittsburgh's historical block
house was replete with excitement.
Cherokees and Usages attached to the
exposition took part In this event, after
which a buffet lunch was served to the
members of the Pittsburgh party and
about 400 visitors in the Pittsburgh
building.
During the meeting, the following
addresses were made:
Chairman Wm. H. Stevenson spoko
as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen:
"Pldtsburgh’s interest in celebrating
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
.sary of American Independence and
our pride in the success of the sesqui-
centennial exposition are manifested,
we believe, in the fact that this is the
second official visit of representatives
of our city to join with Philadelphia
In observing even»ts of importance to
all the people of our commonwealth.
We came in July to dedicate formally
the Pittsburgh building; we are here
toJay to ratify with you our efforts to
give patriotic expression to the deeds
of Philadelphians and Pittsburghers
and those O'ther Americans of 1776.
"It Is a matter of the keenest pride
with us that Pittsburgh Is the only
city in the country represented• by Its
own building in this great world’s ex¬
position. This 5»tructure is an index to
Western Pennsylvania’s relative impor¬
tance in world affairs today; just as in
1776, Pittsburgh was one of the bul¬
warks of the colonies In their defense
of the frontier. While the Continental
Congress sat in Philadelphia, or in
neighboring towns, and Washington’s
lit'tl© army struggled against heavy
odds, the environs of Pittsburgh were
the scenes of stirring events in the
revolution.
“In the wilderness of Bedford and
Westmoreland counties, the Eighth Penn-
syvania Regiment was recruited and
was mustered into service at IMtts-
burgh in the first year of our inde¬
pendence. For seven long years Pitts¬
burgh, like a solitary sentinel, stood
guard On the west, and for as many
years after the Revolutionary struggle,
it was on the bahtlefront in the wars
with hostile Indians. With these tra¬
ditions behind us we come to Phila¬
delphia mindful of the heritage which
we enjoy today as the citizens of sis¬
ter cities.
“This Pittsburgh building is one of
the bes*t investmcTits Pittsburgh ever
made. It is more than a monument
to patriotism and it signalizes more
than our good will toward Philadel¬
phia, as we have learned from the hun¬
dreds of thousands of persons who
have visited the Pittsburgh building
since it was opened two short months
ago. ExposHion visitors have shown
a desire to study the thrift and enter¬
prise of Pittsburgh and to view the
motion pictures which set forth the
Industrial growth and the civic pro¬
gress of our community.
“Our registration book shows that
we average 8,000 registrations of visi¬
tors to the Pittsburgh building in a
week. While many of these visitors
were from Pittsburgh and Western
Pennsylvania, our guests have come
from every state in the Union, from
every country in Europe and from
many of the countries of Soirth Am¬
erica and Asia.
“One day this month the number of
visitors in our building was 72,000,
and we are estimating conservatively
when we say that 1,250,000 persons
have passed through its portals since
the opening day, July 24. The num¬
ber of visitors is increasing daily. The
world is learning something new of
Pittsburgh and we shall no longer suf¬
fer under the obsole*te nickname of the
‘Smoky City.'
“According to our registration book
an average of 1,000 Pittsburghers
com© here each week, and it i.s en¬
couraging that we have that number
here today. A hundred thousand at
home still desire to see this beautiful
building and enjoy the wonders of 4hli
great exposition before It passes Into
history."
President Daniel Winters of Pllt*-
burgh Council spoke as follows:
“Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle¬
men:
“It is indeed a distinct pleasure an4
privilege to present the next speaker,
who needs no introduction 40 any
audience assembled in the great clly
of I'hiladelphia.
“It has often been said that i
prophet is without honor in hJs own
country. I do not believe that is (ret
of the gentleman whom I shall pre¬
sent. I refer -to this statement, how¬
ever, as I wish to substantiate the
assertion that whether that be so or
not, he is indeed honored In ports for¬
eign to his home and native city. la
fact, regardless of how much you ap¬
preciate him at home, we in PMtsburfh
and countless others residing great
distances from your wonderful metro*
polls appreciate him to the fullest of
human respect and admiration.
“We regard him in terms of love and
affection for his sterling characW
and fraternal and charitable work to
which he has dedicated so much of hl>
life and we esteem him for the actlr*
ity he has shown in public and clrk
affairs and the services he has alwaji
rendered his people when the call came
But we appreciate him most becau.«*-
he is one man who stood face to fa/t
with possible failure, but with a arnllf
on his face and dogged determinatloo
and uncompromising courage defltnlly
accepted the challenge of fate and rt-
fused 'to bow to failure.
“Look around you and you can aw
a monument to W, Freeland Kendrift
mayor of Philadelphia.
"I recall when forces were at work
to postpone this exposition and pUr*
obstacles in the way that he came W
the city of Pittsburgh and by his ila-
cerity and enthusiasm won PUtsbUTfl
*to take a part in the Sesqui-Centenatol
exposition.
“We are very proud Indeed to Ul^
a part in this great exposition and ti
have helped him and that we are aW*
to say it is the one city in tk
United States <that has Us own bond¬
ing on the grounds and this buildi&l
upon a location w'hich was selertid
by him in a very prominent pla<^ t*
show his appreciation of the •pifit
and co-operation between the first tw*
cities of the great .S'tate of Pennsyl¬
vania.
“This is a great exposition, reealllnr
to our minds the history and the d«di
9t valor of the past that have made
ihli a groat Nation. And I am indeed
honored to present to you a man
ibow courage and energy has made
It the great success that it is, Mayor
Kendrick/'
Hon. W. Freeland Kendrick, Mayor
of Philadelphia, spoke as follows;
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle¬
men:
“I know of no other occasion during
the life of the Sesqui-'Centennial inter-
laUonal exposition which has given
no more pleasure than the one we are
celebrating today, Pittsburgh day. Al¬
though many nations and sister states
have erected imposing structures in
the shape of beautiful buildings on
thii site, the City of Pittsburgh is
the only municipality in the world
thlch is represented here by a separate
hglMlng. From an architectural stand¬
point and from one of beauty the
Plttaburgh building is one of the most
idmlred on the grounds,
"I wlah to take advantage of this
npportunlty to express on behalf of
tlw cltlwns of Philadelphia to the peo-
of Pittsburgh our heartfelt thanks
and appreciation for the part they have
taken to make this greatest world’s
fair of all time an epoch-making event
li American history.
1 am very much pleased because I
k»?« many warn personal friends in
tko City of Pittsburgh and I feel that
tk^ conMruclion of this building and
tbe activities of Pittsburgh people in
aposillon affairs have strengthened
tie bond of friendship which has ex¬
it'd for more than a century and a
half between the people living along
the shores of the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers and those residing
Wtween and along the Delaware and
.^harlkiil rivers.
"The people of Philadelphia appre¬
ciate this practical display of friond-
ihlp and it Is my earnest hope that
lime not far distant we may be
ahk to reciprocate in a way which
will express our gratitude."
rrealdent Winters introducing Hon.
<"haTle* H, Kline, Mayor of Pittsburgh,
ipoke as follows:
*llf. Chairman, Ladles and Gentle-
•ea:
1 have had the two-fold honor con¬
ferred upon me today in presenting the
t»f speakers of the day. What I have
stU of Mayor Kendrick being a prophet
^ foreign or distant parts Is also true
•f ihe next speaker. I am sure that
he ii and has been very well known to
th« people of Philadelphia for many
pvt past
“It was to Philadelphia as a young
man he came to acquire an education
in the great University of Pennsylvania
in taking up the study of law. As
Chairman of the Appropriations Com¬
mittee of the State Senate and Presi¬
dent, pro tern of that august body, he
became known for his genial, affable
manners and ability, not only in Pitts¬
burgh and Philadelphia, but in all parts
of the State of Pennsylvania.
“He, 1 am sure, has a true under¬
standing of the meaning and purpose
of this great Sesqui-Centennial Exposi¬
tion by reason of the service of his
ancestors in the Revolutionary War and
even antedating that period. A Son of
the American Revolution, I know that
he is a real patriot and a student of
the affairs of Pennsylvania and of the
Nation.
“Last year while occupying a high
place, that of a Judge of the Common
Pleas Courts of Allegheny County, he
was selected by the leaders of his party,
men active In financial and industrial
affairs of our city as their candidate
for Mayor, to which office he was elec¬
ted almosti unanimously, and I now
take great pleasure in Introducing our
Mayor, The Honorable Charles H.
Inline.’’
Hon. Charles H. Kline, Mayor of
Pittsburgh, spoke as follows:
“Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentle¬
men;
“W.e are assembled here today for a
dual purpose.
“First of all, we are here 'to cele¬
brate the one hundred fiftieth anniver¬
sary of the greatest event in the his¬
tory of our nation, which meant to
the American people larger liberties,
nobler opportunities and greater suc¬
cess. Yes, to pay 'the tribute of our
respect to those brave heroes of ours,
who laid the foundation stones of this
matchless republl<^ and proclaimed
that Columbia should ever be the
refuge of the world's oppressed.
“In 1607, the Cavalier, the follower
of Charles the First, landed at James¬
town, Va.; in 1620, the Pilgrim, -the
follower of Cromwell, landed at Ply¬
mouth; and may I say, that the note
struck upon the rock of Plymouth,
was but the grand prelude to the swell¬
ing anthem of civil and religious lib¬
erty.
“These people, although bone of the
same bone, flesh of the same flesh, yet
their ideals and principles were dia¬
metrically opposite; but, notwithstand¬
ing, they worked hand In hand in
the development of this nation. They
fought together for American Inde-
691
penderce; they developed the eastern
shores of America; subsequently* they
scaled the mountains*, invaded the
prairies, and the shores of the peace¬
ful Pacific alone limited their march
of progress. But during the vvftole
time, the Cavalier was still a lord,
and the,Pilgrim was still a Cromwell,
and this continued >io exist until the
nation burst forth into that mighty
conflagration which claimed the lives
of over a million souls, and, after war
had driven its ebon car along its de¬
structive journey for several years,
the Pilgrim was still a Cromwell and
the Cavalier was no longer a lord.
And, today, we S'tand united under
one country, one flag, and one destiny,
and that, the highest goal of human
endeavor.
“Today we are celebrating at this
sosQui-centennial what is known as
‘Pittsburgh day,’ and I, as chief ex¬
executive of that great city, feci very
proud, indeed, to be here 'this day,
especially so when I know that the
City of Pittsburgh is the only city in
the world that has erected a building
at this exposition to commemorate the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the signing of the declaration of
American independence.
“Pittsburgh has played a conspicuous
part in the history of the American
nation, and should be a historic shrine
for everyone, who loves the flag. If
places In the East described so elo¬
quently by New Englanders on every
occasion, be the cradle of American
liberty, then Pittsburgh is the immacu¬
late conception of the American na¬
tion, Without Pittsburgh the glory-
page of American history would have
been blank, because at the confluence
of the Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers, which we describe in Pittsburgh
as ‘The Point,’ was WTitten the pro¬
logue to the ‘Birth of a Nation.'
“To Pittsburgh nre related the ovenU
in the early history of the Wcslfrn
world which formed the pivot upon
which turned the future of Amerlc*
Wi'thout a Port Pitt there could hav#-
been no Lexington, or Concord, no
Valley Forge, no Yorktown, no Indr*
pendence Hall, within the shadow of
whose historic walls we stand today.
The name of Fort Pitt, a replica of the
blockhouse of which we have repro¬
duced as a companion to this building,
tells the story of the development of
America.
“It telLs -the story of the growth at
the confluence of two rivers of a great
city, which through its wonderful in¬
stitutions of science, art, mechanics
and the like, and through the brain*
and energy of its people, have won for
it the proud distinction of being 4hc
greatest indutsrial city of the whola
world.
“In conclusion, permit me to aay.
that on this wonderful day, I am
prouder than ever that I am a Pitts¬
burgher.
“In fact, the glorious part which she
has played In the development of our
Nation, would almost permit w to
designate Pittsburgh Day as American
Day. But our wonderful traditions
teach more -than anything else, that
there are no sectional prides and that
our first thought must be out Re¬
public. So, In behalf of that City. I
offer to this exposition and our Ni*
tion, her historic past, as a saerrd
and solemn pledge, that 4he Pitts¬
burgher of today, and the PittsburghfT
of tomorrow, will show the same
fortitude, loyalty and sacrifice to pre*
serve all of the institutions which oif
antecedents have made possible.”
And on motion of Mr. Malonu
Council adjourned.

property owners outside of the City of
Pittsburgh, offering large acreages for
the use of golf courses, and your re¬
quest for an opinion as 4o whether
the City has the right to purchase
property outside the confines Of the
City limits for either playgrounds or
golf courses, I advise you—
That the Act of 1919, P. L. 784, pro¬
vides—
*‘Such city, borough, or county may.
In such manner as may be authorized
or provided by law for the acquisKlon
of land or buildings for public pur¬
poses In such city, borough, or dounty,
acquire lands or buildings therein for
use. as playgrounds, playflelds, gym¬
nasiums, public baths, swimming pools,
or indoor recreation centers, or, if
there be no law authorizing such
acquisition, the city council or the
borough council or the county commis¬
sioners, as the case may be, may
acquire lands or buildlng.s for. such
purposes by gift, or purchase, or may
lease lands or buildings In such city,
borough, or county for temporary use
for such purposes." (Section 1.)
699
I am 0 ^ the opinion that the power
as conferred upon City Council under
this Act means the acquisition of
property within the City limits, and
said Act does not give City Council
the right to purchase land outside of
the City limits, unless it is by the
joint action of two or more municipali¬
ties, as Is expressly provided in Sec¬
tion 5, as follows:
“Any two or more cities or bor¬
oughs, or any city or borou/^h, or any
city or borough and county, may
jointly acquire property for, and oper¬
ate and maintain, any playgrounds,
playftelds, gymnasiums, public baths,
swimming pools, or indoor recreation
centers. Any school district shall
have power to join with any city,
borough or county, in equipping, oper¬
ating. and maintaining playgrounds,
playftclds, gymnasiums, public baths,
swimming pools, and indoor recrea¬
tion centers, and may appropriate
money therefor.'*
This is the only exception, as in all
the other seotions it provides for the
acquisition of property in such city,
borough or county.
The Act further provides that City
Council may designate and set apart
for use as playgrounds, playflelds,
gymnasiums, public baths, swimming
pools, or Indoor recreation centers, any
lands Or buildings owned by such city,
etc., and not dedicated or devoted to
other public use.
I believe that if the money is used
from the People’s Bond Issue of 1926,
that the pJ’operty to be purchased
must be within the City limits and
used for playgrounds, playflelds. gym¬
nasiums, public baths, swimming pools,
and indoor recreation centers, and no-t
for any other purpose, unless there is
a joinder between the City and an¬
other municipality in the purchase and
the property is acquired for the pur¬
pose provided in the Act.
Otherwise, the Act should be amend¬
ed so as to allow the Ci*ty Itself the
right to purchase without the City lim¬
its for the purposes specified In thi
Act.

SUBJEXIJT: Projected Improvements to
the Water System of the North Side
with particular ret<jrence to Howard
Pumping Station
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
The Department transmitted an or¬
dinance to council which was intro¬
duced _ on September 20th authorhinf
execution of contracts with the Du¬
quesne Light Company for furnlRhlnf
power to the Howard Street Pumplnf
Station and also providing for th#
rental of certain transformer* and
swHches. This bill was affirmed on
Tuesday, the 21st, with the provJaJo’i
that this office should submit a report
to council on Monday, September
As Important questions of policy of
Interest to your body and to the pub¬
lic In general are Involved in the de¬
cision which the Department hM
reach»^d involving the electrification of
the Howard Street Station we are gild
to have this opportunity to place be-
for#' you a brief report on the subject
of the proposed rehabilitation of the
water supply of the North Side to be
carried out with funds provided In tbe
Peoples Bond Issue of 1926.
The submission of the above men¬
tioned ordinance Is the first step to
place in effect -the Department’s deci¬
sion to electrify this pumping pfntfmi.
and Is necessary In order thnt the
company shall have ample time t«
arrange Its connections and flntncin*
before current is needed In the sUtioti.
The Howard Street Stadlon pumpe
all water to the high districts of the
North Side, embracing nearly two-
thirds of the area of the North 9Me.
and including about 65,000 popui*tlofi
Its equipment is worn out and K*
operation Is attended with many rlrti.
and its reconstruction has been con¬
sidered the most pressing the nri-
ous water works Items authorlied by
the recent Peoples' Bond Dsuc. Th«
boilers In particular are thirty y»«Ti
old and have reached the limit of tbdr
usefulness. Furthermore, the effirirnt
pumping capacity is insufficient, and U
not properly proportioned to the present
or future requirements of the distri¬
bution sy&tem.
In this connection the Department is
actively planning enlargements and re¬
arrangements of the entire North Side
supply, embracing both reser^'Oln i»4
mains. Aside from the expenditure of
over '^200.000 for additional mains, tbe
Department is preparing for the cw-
ruction of a new reserve reservoir
at the site of the present Greentree
reservoir and an intermediate pefe^
voir near the the site of the preseat
Lafayette tanks. The Orcentreea re*-
ervolr will be on the highest ground
within <the city limits and will afford
a 30,000,000 gallon reserve lupp^
which may be used In any portion
the North Side. The lnterm<^iaie n»-
ervolr will replace tanks which tr*
worn out and Inadequate In capacity.
704
At prwcnt t^ie North Side is sup¬
plied from four pressure levels. With
tbe reconstruction contemplated «these
lereli will be reduced to three. The
low«r level will be supplied by gravity
from the existing Cabbage Hill reser¬
voir with the new Green trees reservoir
ia reserve. The intermediate reservoir
contemplated will supply the major
portion of the 'territory covered by the
Howard Station, and the Greentree res-
irvoir while affording reserve to the
preceding, will supply the high district.
lUacent to that reservoir.
After studying various methods of
leconatructlng the Howard Station,
alosf present lines, and finding the
coiu excessive, it was ascertained that
tlM complete electridcatlon of the sta-
(JoB was the most economical and effi¬
cient way of meeting the situation.
Thi Department l.s also thoroughly sat-
itfed as to the reliability of this
method
The studies show that the service
eow rendered by the Howard Station
CM be performed at an annual cost,
toclttding overheads, of about $20,000
im than the corresponding costs with
the present plant If the present
plant were remodeled and modern
itttra machinery Installed, the annual
cotta would be abou't $15,000 in excess
ef that of electrification. Moreover,
the actual expenditures in first cost .
for equipment would be about $200,000
more fO a modernized steam plant .
tiaa for electrification.
Ia conclusion, the major contem¬
plated wader works program of the
North Side includes:
The complete electrification of
Howard Pumping Station.
The construction of the new Green-
tree Reiervolr.
The construction of an Intermediate
Eeecrroir.
The laying of the necessary rising
aad lopply mains to and from these
merrolrs with the completion of this
rofl. and considering the storage and
mlltbilUy of the Cabbage Hill reser-
nir will provide the North Side with
a water service second to none.
The Departme* t recommends the
ahtve mentioned ordinance for favor-
consideration. Copy of the de¬
tailed report covering the Nv»i»ch Side
iippip incl in particular fne electrifl-
mm of the Howard Street Pumping
ItatiOtt Is herewith submitted. Addl-

as proposed.

City Clerk,
Cky of Pittsburgh.
Dear Sir:
Referring to your letter of Sept.
30th, relative to the meeting of the
Committee on Hearings held Wednes¬
day, Sept. 29th, 1926, at which meet¬
ing Bill No. 1656, “An Ordinance
amending the Zoning Ordinance by
changing the Zone Map, Sheet Z-
N10-E30„ so as *to change from a ‘B’
Residence, First Area District, to an
‘A* Residence Fourth Area District, all
that certain property bounded on the
north by Jonathan St.; on the east
by North Homewood Ave.; on the
sou'th by a line parallel with and dis¬
tant 100 ft. northwardly from Mc¬
Pherson street, and on the west by
the westerly line of property now or
late of J. A. Murtland et ah, and
Jonathan St.’* was read and a hearing
granted interested panties.
I have to advise as follows:
Attorney Jennings did not represent
any of the property holders who ob¬
jected to this ordinance, namely Mr.
E. Soxman, Mr. T. O’Connor and the
writer. The last Information we had
was at the mee*ting of Council on
Tuesday, Sept. 2Sth, when It was de¬
cided that a new ordinance should be
prepared by the engineer of the Zon¬
ing Committee in conformance with
the revised alignment of ihe property
about 116 fU from and parallel to the
North line of McPherson St. ext-^nd-
ing from Homewood avenue westward-
ly to intersect with the propelty of
Mr. Daub. It was also understood
that an effort should be made to have
the two (2) parjiels of property be¬
tween said 116 ft. line and McPherson
St., as shown on plan submiWed to
be owned by one property owner.
It was expressed in Council assem¬
bled, by Mr, Hall, attorney for Murt-
land heirs and by Mr. Murtland that
they were willing and agreed to have
the alignment changed from 100 ft.
to 12 6 ft. as above described.
Accordingly, we, property owners,
who have purchased and built homes
o'l McPherson St., most earnestly ob¬
ject to ^the approval of said ordinance
as presented and request that the same
either be disapproved or referred back
to the engineer of the Zoning Board
for revision as recommended by Coun¬
cil Tuesoay, Sept. 28th, 1926.

Council of City of Pibtsburgh,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
I own and live in my residence, 306
North Homewood avenue, corner of
Thomas street. Therefore, I feel in¬
terested in my neighbors and neigh¬
borhood.
I have been informed you have an
Ordinance before you changing the
claaslftcation of the Murtland prop¬
erty, located between Homewood ave¬
nue, McPherson and Jonathan streets.
I know ithe property very well for
many years, having property and a
business across the P. R. R. for thirty
years.
I feel that the present zoning laws
allowing duplexes, double house and
single residences should be left alone
on McPherson street and Homewood
avenue to a reasonable depth. Home-
wood avenue is a gateway for the
whde vicinity and should be pre¬
served for the benefit of the whole
community. Aside from *the two front¬
ages I mention, I feel that if the own¬
ers want the zoning of the balance
of the property changed, it might not
be very objectionable, although I feel
If sound thought were given to the
sound financial standpoint, it would
pay a better income if suitable du¬
plexes and double houses were to be
erected than the income from rows
of houses. Besides, duplexes and double
houses eventually fall into better
bands and are cared fc-r better than
rows and certainly keep rented better.
Respectfully submitted,
F. B. McGILLICK.

City of Pittsburgh, Penna
October 4, 1926.
The Honorable Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemf.n:
The undersigned properly owners on
Homewood avenue, Fourteenth Ward,
learned only last night of the effort
of the Murtland Esta^te to procure a
detrimental chaiige of zone classifica¬
tion for th Mr property bounded by
Jonathan St. (P. R. R.) Homewood
Ave. and the recently opened and
paved McPherson St. The present
classification is satisfactory to every
prop jrty owner in the vicinMy except
the Murtlands The proposed classifi¬
cation would enable the land in ques¬
tion to be used for rows of houses
or for factories. Either of this class
of buildings would be a great detri¬
ment to the appearance of the lower
end of Homewood avenue and I am
advised by real estate dealer-s, two of
whom are owners on Homewood Ave.
•that our properties on the East or
opposite side of Homewood Ave. would
be damaged by either class of struc¬
tures permitted under the change pro¬
posed. All the property owners on
Bast side of Homewood avenue be¬
tween McPherson street and Thomas
Boulevard are strongly opposed to this
change and I believe all property own¬
ers in the lower block from McPher¬
son St. to •the Railroad are opposed
to having houses erected in rows on
the Murtland Estate, that is every¬
body for two blocks in length. We
do not think a depth of 100 feet, or
even 116 feet for lots on McPherson
St. is sufficimt *to preserve the pres¬
ent character. They should approxi¬
mate the depth of 150 feet as on the
other side of McPherson St,, now nice¬
ly Improved the past summer.
We oppose a row of houses on
Homewood Ave., but do not object
to a building row if confined to the
frontage -toward the railroad, that is
Jonathan St., but no more. We think
the speculators themselves would en¬
hance their own interest by construct¬
ing shingle houses other than on said
railroad frontage and even there also.
This area cannot be compared with
the block wes4 thereof on opposite?
side of the railroad station, where two
rows now exist. They are vastly dif¬
ferent in character. If your commit¬
tee was informed that certain ob¬
jectors were now satisfied, I am au¬
thorized to deny it, especially Mr.
Palmer, who has expressed his regret
•that he is obliged to be out of the
City today, but he tells me he has
expressed his continual opposition to
the proposed change by an unequivocal
letter. We ask that the ordinance
pending today be defeated so that the
Zoning Board can revise the present
objeotionable plans. The said pres¬
ent plans help only their proponents
who are intruders and harass every¬
body else in the neighborhood. They
will even effect the value of Home-
Also
wood Ave. property all the way up to
Penn Ave. and a distance of four
blocks.
Very truly yours,
E. E. PHEJ^PS.

October 5, 1926.
Chairman and Members,
Committee on Public Safety of City
Council.
Gentlemen:
On Monday, October 4, 1926, I noti¬
fied City Council of the estabUshmen*t
of sixty day rules, inter alia, as fol¬
lows:
Prohibition of left hand turns from
Carson Street at south end of the
Smilhfield Street Bridge between the
hours of 5 and 6 P. M.
I have discovered by practical ex*
porience that this rule works a hard-
.Hhlp on the public generally and have
this day revoked it and would request
your Honorable Body either to decline
taking any action on our previous
notice, or if you have acted upon the
same, to rescind your action.
The establishment of this regulation,
under present conditions, means »that
such traffic would be compelled to
drive to the South Twenty-second
Street Bridge.
Trusting you will act upon my
recommendation in this letter, I am
Tours very truly,
JAMES M. CLARK,
Director.

to be in either New York or St. Louis.
To take care of 4hose citizens who
had this Interest, the Pittsburgh news¬
papers very willingly and efficiently
provided entertainment with an up-to-
the-minute report of the games. The
Chronicle Telegraph, Gazette Times,

demonstration of the playing of the
games through the use of magnetic
boards and the posting of the details
of each play; the Pittsburgh Press
gave an extraordinary entertainment
in front of the City-County Building,
both by radio and the posting of the
details on a board.
This most efficient service on the
part of the newspapers furnished en¬
tertainment and play-hy-play detail to
hundreds of thousands of Ptitsburghers
who otherwise would have had only
reading d&tail. That this service was
enjoyed by the persons who participat¬
ed in same was borne out by the large
attendance day after day; Therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the members of
Council of the City of Pittsburgh here¬
by express to the publishers of the
Chronicle Telegraph, Gazette Times,
Pos*t, Press and Sun, their commenda¬

and entertaining detail of each one of

RESOLVED, That the CHy Clerk

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
October 18, 1926.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
We herewith call your attention to
certain deficiencies which now exist In
several of the Bureaus of this De¬
partment wherein funds are exhausted
or are about to become so.
In all instances the service to the
public is affected as appropriations
are for those activities that have to
do with the repair, operation and main-
'tenance of municipal service and con¬
tinuing necessary public improvements.
A brief statement as to the deficiencies
in the various bureaus with the cause
or causes therefor follows.
In the Bureau of Water there is a
very urgent immediate need for addi¬
tional appropriations tofaling $62,500
and these funds are all necessary for
operation, maintenance and repair.
Their division of the several accounts
is as follows.
Filtration Division—Code Ac¬
count 1744—Wages, Regular
-—Appropriation now ex¬
hausted— deficiency caused
by unusual weather condi¬
tions during last winter and
acid water conditions during
the summer and early fall.
Continuation of the service
absolutely necessary for
health and service of pubUc....$ 32,000
Mechanical Division—Code Ac¬
count 1757 — Materials—^Ap¬
propriation now practically
exhausted—funds used to
purchase materials for re¬
pair and upkeep of pumps
and mechanical equipment in
pumping stations. There has
been an unusual amount of
breakage during the past
year due to the increasing
age of the equipment. Funds
must be provided in order
'that prompt and necessary
repairs may be made .$
756
Distribution Division — Code
Account 1763—^Wages, tem*
porary—Funds now exhaust¬
ed, This expense is for em¬
ployment of men to make
repairs to the pipe line sys¬
tem, water hydrants, gate
valves, etc., which repairs
must be made in order to
furnish service. This is
maintenance work and must
be kept up and is entirely
dependent upon conditions
over which the Department
has no control ....417,300
Distribution Division —• Code
Account 1764—^Miscellaneous
Services. These funds are
necessary in order to meet
bills for hydrant and yard
rentals under contract which
bills are now due and pay¬
able .$ 3,200
Distribution Division — Code
Account 1767 — Ma-terials.
As the appropriation for pro¬
viding materials for repairs
to pipe lines, hydrants,
gate valves, etc., is ex¬
hausted and as the neces¬
sary maintenance and repair
work must be kept up, it
is imperative that additional
funds be provided. The ex¬
penditure under -this item
necessarily depends upon the
condtions over which the
Department has no control. % 4,000
Total—Bureau of Water.$62,500
In addition to the foregoing there
are possibly contingent deficiencies
in other appropriations which may
total $37,000, largely, however, con¬
tingent upon the status of the coal
account which is dependent upon
weather conditions and which may
therefore not develop. However, there
will be a later deficiency in Code Ac¬
count 1753, Wages, Regular, in the
Mechanical Division on account of
wage increases in pumping station em¬
ployes during 1926. These funds will
not be necessary, however, until the
last payroll in December.
Bureau of Bridges and Structures—
There are ‘two accounts in which
there are deficiencies in the Bureau
of Bridges and Structures as follows:
Code Account 1560—^Bridge
Repainting. The additional
funds are needed in order
that the Department may
proceed as long as suitable
weather continues in the
program for bridge repaint¬
ing, The necessity for
painting bridges is a con*tin-
ual one and serious deter¬
ioration follows if the re¬
painting is not done when
required ...$ 6,000
A special appropriation of
$6,000 is urgently required
in order to provide sufficient
funds for the reflooring of
the Duquesne Way ramp.
The total cost of this work
will be approximately $10,-
000. This ramp is already
in bad condition and is en¬
dangering traffic as H is in
such shape that the spikes
protrude and cause prop¬
erty damage to automobiles....$ 6,000
Total—Bureau of Bridges
and -Structures .$12,000
Bureau of Engineering. The total
estimated deficiencies in the various
appropriations of the Bureau of En¬
gineering to ‘the end of the year is
estimated to be $39,500, all of which
deficiencies have been due to the in¬
creased number and value of Improve¬
ment contracts chargeable both to
assessment and appropriation proceed¬
ings. The volume of work in charge
of this bureau has been greatly in¬
creased throughout the year.
On July 1st ‘the Department’s ex¬
penditures for salaries and general
expense were practically even with
the* councilmanic appropriation. The
Department, however, had not em¬
ployed a large number of men whose
employment had been authorized in
the regular salary ordinance and It
was then, evident that unless the ad¬
ditional men were employed *that the
city could not continue to advertise
and execute as many contracts as was
necessary and desirable—in other words,
the progress of work and the carry¬
ing out of the city's program would
be interfered with if the additional
men were not employed. Council in
committee was so notified that if the
additional men were employed a de¬
ficiency would occur or develop later
in the year which was then estimated
at about $50,000. As a matter of fact
the salary deficiencies in the several
accounts are now estimated at $30,100,
and deficiencies in payroll and Inability
to meet same will commence to de¬
velop in some accounts on or about
November 1st while in others the de¬
ficiency will not occur utnil around
November 15th.
The other accounts hereinafter men¬
tioned are for advertising of contracts,
757
*the making of blue prints for contracts
and the purphase of castings, all of
which are expenses entirely dependent
upon the quantity of work carried out
by the Department, The following is
a detailed list of the several deficien¬
cies:

eral Office .$ 1,000.00

Subject; South 22nd St. Bridge.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.
Gentlemen:
Attached hereto is copy of letter
dated August 11, 1926, addressed to
Welter S. Rae, requesting a lump sum
price for extra work in connection
with his contract for repairs to the
South Twenty-second St, Bridge, At¬
tached also is reply of Mr. Rae un¬
der date of October 13th. The fol¬
lowing explanation is given on the
same;
The contract for the repairs to this
bridge was awarded April 7, 1926 and
countersigned April 24, 1926. The bid
price of this Contract is $59,000.00.
Exclusive of the extra work now con¬
templated, the final estimate will run
approximately $60,000.00.
After the work was under way
the detailed inspection of this bridge
was made, -the men not being avail¬
able for work on this bridge at an
earlier date. The report on this in¬
spection Is dated August 17. This de-
Uiled inspection showed that the rail¬
ing of the bridge required extensive
repairs which are listed in the letter
to Walter S, Rae. The contractor
proposes to make these repairs for
the lump sum of $2,789.00. Funds
are available under the contract to pay
for these repairs.
The drafting force is now so crowd¬
ed that wc would be unable to pre¬
pare contract plans and advertise these
repairs as an additional contract *this
year and it is extremely doubtful if
this work could be handled next year.
In addition to this, the cost of the
preparation of such plans would be
very high in comparison w'ith the ac¬
tual costs of the work. The Depart¬
ment therefore, wishes to approve let¬
ter bid of Walter S. Rae in the amount
of $2,789.00. Before doing so however,
we would like to obtain the consent
of council to such a procedure as the
sum of money involved is larger than
customarily handled in this manner.
If we are ‘to proceed with this work,
it Is desirable to do so at once and
complete same before bad weather is
encountered.
Your early and favorable consid¬
eration is therefore requested.
Yours truly, •
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.

Pittsburgh, Penna.
Dear Sir:
In connection with your contract for
repairs to the floor system of the
north approach of the So. 22nd St.
Bridge, it is necessary to make cer¬
tain repairs to the hand railing on
both sides of the structure. As 'there
are no unit prices in your contract
covering this class of work, it is re¬
quested that you submit a lump sum
price for making the following repairs:
Replace one panel (8 ft.) of fence,
complete with new materiaT.
Completely repair 20 vertical posts.
Furnish and place 40 new nottom
braces.
Furnish and place 53 new ^ottom
angles.
Furnish and place 5 new' middle
angles.
Furnish and place 63 new splice
covers.
The lump sum price bid must in¬
clude removing old material in such
a way as not to damage tho remain¬
ing portions of the fence. If the
fence is damaged in this removal, it
must be repaired and the costs of
the same considered as paid for under
the lump sum price bid,
When pos'ts and braces are bent or
tw'isted, it will be necessary to re¬
move the entire panel of fence dur¬
ing repairs In such case the opening
must be properly barricaded until said
panel is replaced. Afier all repairs
are made, the entire fence must be
brought to true alignment, removing
all kinks, bends or other irregularities
as ordered by *thc Director in the field.

Dear Sir:
Referring to Bill No. 2055, ‘*A reso¬
lution authorizing the transfer of $1,-
900.00 from Code Account No. 1506,

ance is due to the payment of a steno¬
grapher for the firs*t six and one-half
months of this year from the Bureau
of Highways and Sewers, instead of
Code Account No. 1506.
Due to the sickness of the regular
stenographer who was not on the pay¬
roll for the first six months of the
year, and whose work was being done
by the other stenographers, i*t became
necessary for the temporary appoint¬
ment of a stenographer which was
done in July.
There was also the appointment of
the contract clerk for the first part
of the year, which position was vacant
for a few months due to the fact to
secure the right man for the position.
Also the appointment of an as.sistant
clerk which was also held up wait¬
ing 'the apficintment of a good assist¬
ant, which positions are essential to
the efficiency of the contract depart¬
ment.
Yours very truly,

auce legislation so that this amount

The Chair (Mr, Herron) at this time,
presented
No. 2292.'
CITY OP PITTSBURGH
Office of the Mayor
November 8 th, 1926.
To the President and Members
of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
I am sending you herewith the Esti¬
mates of the various Departments and
other activities of the City Govern¬
ment for the year 1927.
No increases in salaries or wages
are included. I propose to deal w^ith
this in a separate message, which I
will shortly submit to Council.
The budget of 1926 carried in amount
$22,076,188.25, and the estimates here¬
with presented carry an appropriation
of $22,385,200.0i2, making a net In¬
crease over the appropriations for 19'2C
of $309,01'1.77. While the estimates
submitted show the increase indicated,
you will note by reference to the
revenue table that sufficient income to
meet all demands of the Administration
will be furnished by adhering to the
1926 tnx rate.
The most notable increases are:
Bureau of Police .$233,501.17
Bureau of Fire . 89,484.00
Bureau of Electricity . 26,316.00
Sinking Fund . 252,500.00
These increases are made obliga¬
tory by virtue of the necessity for
better police and fire protection in the
City, and in addition, the annexation
of the Borough of Carrick as a part
of the City of Pittsburgh, as well as
caring for interest and sinking fund
charges on increased bonded indebted¬
ness.
While there is no desire on the part
of the executive to usurp the functions
or prerogatives of the legislative body,
I would suggest that as soon as pos-
.sible you determine what the 1927 tax
rate is to be in order that the col¬
lection of taxes may start promptly
on the date fixed by law and no ex¬
tensions will have to be granted.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. KLINE,
Mayor.
Also
No. 2293. Estimates of the
various departments of the city gov¬
ernment for the fiscal year beginning
January 1st, 1927.
Which were read and referred to the
Committee on Finance.

I wish to say that there is an agree¬

and the County of Allegheny that the
City shall clean said corridor one year
and the county the next.
Since the fall of 1918, at which
time I took charge of this oftice, I
had the corridor cleaned three times
at the expense of the county, during
which time the city has failed to clean
it at all. By this you will readily
8«e that the city has been negligent
In this matter and the rime for them
to clean same is long past due.

THE BOROUGH OF CARRICK

Mr. Robert Clark, City Clerk,
City of Pittsburgh,
City-County Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
bear Sir:
Tour very kind letter of November
Slh, relative to Resolution adopted by
City Council on November 4th, 1926,
was received and duly presented to the
Council of the Borough of Carrick at
the regular meeting held on Novem¬
ber 8th, and the Secretary was in¬
structed to advise you as follows:
l9t—Maps, Bue Prints, etc.; This
information is all assembled com¬
plete in the Municipal Building, and
we will be glad to turn it over to
the City of Pittsburgh on January
1st, 1927, or as soon thereafter as is
possible, in order that the data may
become a part of the City official
records. If for any reason this is
not altogether satisfactory, will you
kindly let us know.
2nd—^Budget for the Year 1927:
This information was submitted in
detail to the Mayor by the Finance
Committee of the Borough Council
on .September 18th, 1926, and for
your information, we enclose herev/ith
a copy of tills communication. If
there is any additional data required
in this connection, we will be glad
to furnish same upon request.
Yours very truly,
CPIAS. J. WIIiEENBERG,
p.oiough Secretary.
September 18th, 1926.
Hon. Charles H. Kline,
Mayor, City of Pittsburgh,
City-County Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Complying with your request, we
are pleased to hand you herewith a
Budget of Expenses which %ve believe
will be necessary in order to properly
take care of the requirements of the
Borough of Carrick for the year 1927.
For your information, we give here¬
with an explanation of the various
items, in order that you may have a
more intelligent idea of what is covered
by the Budget, and what is necessary
in our opinion to properly provide for
the needs of the Borough of Carrick
during the coming year.
Item No. 1—Street XJghting:
This item includes 434-100 C. P.
Lights; i:i9-250 C. P. Lights and 5 un¬
derground lights which are in use at
the present time, and an additional esti¬
mated requirement of 50 lights, which
we believe are necessary at the present
time in order to properly illuminate
the Borough. As will be noted from
the Budget for the year 1926, copy of
which Is attached, there is a large dif¬
ference In the Appropriation for that
year and the estimated budget for the
year 1927, which is largely accounted
for by the fact that we have replaced
all Gas Lights throughout the Borough
with electric lights, which are, of
course, more expensive than the gas
lights.
Item No. 2—Police Protection:
This item includes the salaries of
our present force of eleven Policemen,
composed of the Chief, 5 Patrolmen,
3 Motorcycle and 2 Sergeants, as well
as the upkeep of Motorcycles, police
call-box system, of which wei have 20
call-boxes installed by the Bell Tele¬
phone Co., supplies for police depart¬
ment, etc. By referring to the 1926
Budget you will note that there is
also a large difference between the 1926
Budget and the estimated budget for
the year 1927, which is accounted for
by the fact that while our ratOvS of
pay for police oificers is still less than
the City rate, yet it shows an increase
over the 1926 set-up, and by the fact
that the iservices of the two Sergeants
have been charged to maintenance of
the Municipal Building, as these men
at present also act as Janitors in the
Municipal Building.
Item No. 3—Street Cleanlngf and Be-
pairs:
To this item we have charged the
salary of the Street Commissioner^ all
labor and materials required in street
and sev er repair work, and while we
estimated $8,000.00 for these require¬
ments in 1926, we have found that this
amount is far too small to take care
of our actual needs. We also wish to
call attention to the fact that no p.wt
of the fee received from the Pitts¬
burgh Railways Co. under their c.^n-
tract with the Borough of Garrick is
used for this particular item.
Item No. 4—Sinking' Fund:
We have two separate Sinking Funds,
in accordance with the ordinances cov¬
ering the various bond issues, and out
of the total set-up of $36,500.00, the
amount of $16,000.00 is required for
application toward the principal .as the
Bonds become due: $19,000.00 to cover
interest charge, and $1,500.00 for the
payment of the Loans Tax.
Item No. 5—Plush Tank Supply;
The amount allowed in our budget,
we believe, is very close to the actual
cost to us of Flush Tank Service.
Item No. 6—Fire Protection;
In this item there is included the
service charge on 99 Fire Hydrants,
which are now installed or in the
course of installation, and provision
for 25 additional Fire Hydrant.«, which
we believe are necessary to properly
protect the Residences of the Borough,
but as noted in the Budget, does not
include any expense for an up-to-date
Fire Department, which we feel is ab¬
solutely necessary for the Borough in
order to afford ample and proper fire
protection, and paticularly In view of
the fact that the present Fire Sta¬
tions are too far removed from Car-
rick Borough for prompt service with¬
in the Borough. We have at the pres¬
ent time ample facilities for estab¬
lishing and housing such a Depart¬
ment in the present Municipal Building.
Item No. 7—Park Maintenance:
As you, perhaps, realize our Park Is
composed of a Playground, Athletic
Field, Swimming Pool, Shelter House,
etc., and is really the only center of
activity along athletic lines within the
Borough, and we believe that our esti¬
mated requirements of $8,500.00 for
park purposes are necessary if present
activities are to be continued, which
we sincerely hope will be done.
Item No. 8—Contingencies:
This item is largely composed of In¬
terest on Current Expense Certificates
of Indebtedness and Street Improve¬
ment Certificates of Indebtedness which
are issued at the time the work is
completed, and on which the Borough
must carry the interest until the as¬
sessments are handed down, bills sent
out and collections made.
We are also attaching herewith a
copy of our Budget for the year 1926,
as well as a copy of the Financial
Statement of the Borough of Carrlclt
for the year ending December 31st,
1925, which we thought might be of
some assistance to you in considering
the amount of money that will be set
aside for the maintenance and activi¬
ties of Garrick Borough for the year
1927.
We sincerely hope that provision will
be made in your Budget for the Year
1927 as covered by the Estimate sub¬
mitted herewith.
If there is any further information
that you would like to have In con¬
nection with this matter, we hope that
you will not hesitate to call upon us.
Respectfully submitted,

TRACTION CONFERENCE BOARD
\V. H. B.iyce
Pittsburgh, Pa.,
November 13th, 1926.
Hon. Daniel Winters, Pres.,
C!ity Council,
City-County Bldg.,
Pittsburgh, Penna.
Dear Sir:
For your information and considera¬
tion I beg to advise as follows:
Prior to the submission of its annual
tudget for the year 1927 and in con¬
nection therewith, the Pittsburgh Rall-
'fays Company has tentatively pre¬
sented for consideration of the Trac¬
tion Conference Board, a proposition
to Inirease the pay of motormen and
conductors I’y^c (one and one-half cents)
per hour, effective January 1st, 1927.
The favor.ible consideration of this
proposition by the Board is strongly
urged by the executive officers of the
Philadelphia Company and the Pitts-,
burgh Railways Company.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
and carefully considered at a meeting
of the Board attended by the execu¬
tive officers of the Philadelphia Com¬
pany, the Pittsburgh Railways Com¬
pany and the executive committee of
the street car men's organization.
This discussion developed and empha¬
sized the recognized fact that a large
part of the economy and efficiency pos¬
sible In operating the system is de¬
pendant on the attitude of the men
operating the cars and on a mutual
attitude of co-ordinated effort between
the men and management, to this end.
It was shown that during the past year
much progress has been made in pro¬
moting this attitude, accompanied by
marked economies and improvements
in operation.
There is still a wide economic field
available for the • development of this
process, the probable returns in the
form of reduced operating costs and in¬
creased revenues being far in excess
of the wage increase under considera¬
tion. It was pointed out that a recog¬
nition of this work already done would
stimulate and extend the efforts in
this field and would be an immense
help in expanding and establishing this
attitude of mutual effort on the part
of all those men, both officers and
employes, engaged in furnishing street
car transportation in this district.
As the result of this discussion and
of the study of wage data relative to
-other cities, the Board, at this writ¬
ing, is much impressed with the propo¬
sition, inclined to believe that it is
economically sound and that the policy
on which it is based is the policy which
will eventuate into the greatest good
and best service to the street car riders
of the district.
The matter will come before the
Board for the consideration of all In¬
terested parties in connection with the
railway budget for 1927, which Is due
On or aout December 1st, 1926.
Y ours truly,

Chas. A. Finley,
Chairman.

CITY OP PITTSBURGH
Office of the Mayor.
Charles H. Kline,
Mayor,
November 13th, 1926,
To the President and
Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Requests for increases In salaries to
823
City employes have been omitted from
the 1927 budget estimates.
In order that this may not be sub¬
ject to a false interpretation, I de¬
sire to make some observations on
this matter, which is one of so much
discussion at each budget session.
Personally, I favor high pay for our
City employes. Underpaid help is not
true economy. Only unsatisfactory re¬
sults in the way of service rendered,
come from a dissatisfied payroll, either
in public or private enterprise.
Pittsburgh should pay her employes
at a rate commensurate with the ser¬
vice demanded. She should stand for as
high a wage to her employes as any
other City of comparable size and im¬
portance.
Above all, I favor a standardization
of pay by which the same rate is al¬
lowed in every department where the
same service is expected, and the same
responsibility imposed. To pay one
employe in one department or bureau
more and another less in some other
department or bureau for the same or
similar service, is neither economical
nor fair.
Therefore I feel that any changes in
salary should wait until a thorough
study has been made in which both
the executive and legislative bodies
shall join hands and work together to
produce a schedule based on the fol¬
lowing:
1. A rate of pay for our empl(>yes
the equal of any city of comparable
size and importance.
2. Comrlete standardization of sal¬
aries with minimum and maximum
rates and advancement within grade
based on efficiency and length of
service.
In making this recommendation, I
want the City employes to know that
I am not against salary raises where
based on merit, but I do want to see
it systematized so that meritorious
service will automatically earn its
just reward. Certainly the worthy
hard-working employe cannot object and
the shirker, if there be any, has no
right to.
I therefore recommend that we im¬
mediately take steps to establish an
organization for salary equalization and
standardization on which both the exe¬
cutive and legislative shall be repre¬
sented.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES H, KLINE,
Mayor.

Committee on Finance.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Chair took up
Bill No. 460. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance providing for
vhe purchase of certain lots or pieces
of ground, together with buildings
erected thereon, situate in the Eleventh
Ward (formerly the Nineteenth Ward)
of tho City of Pittsburgh, from Jesse
P. Sharp Heirs and located at the
corner of Broad street and Euclid
avenue, in the City of Pittsburgh, at
a price of Thirty-five thousand
($35,000.00) dollars.”
In Finance Committee, October 26,
1926, Bill read and amended in sec¬
tion 1 and in the title by striking out
the words “Thirty-five thousand
($35,000.00) dollars,” and by insert¬
ing in lieu thereof the words ‘Thirty-
two thousanQ five hundred ($32,500.00)
dollars,” and as amended ordered re¬
turned to council with an affirmative
recommendation.
In Council, November 1, 1926, Bill
read and laid on the table.
Wliich was read a second lime.
Mr. !3iiCaIor.« moved
That the amendments of the
Finance Committee be agreed to.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Garland arose and said,
Mr. 'President: In the pur¬
chase of this property at the price
named, Council is inaugurating a had
and dangerous precedent.
The property should either be pur¬
chased by the City within the value
fixed by the Real Estate Board’s ap¬
praisal, or it should be acquired by
condemnation proceedings, which Coun¬
cil has the power to do when purchas¬
ing land for municipal purposes, and
which power Council has exercised In
other similar cases.
Mr. McArdle arose and said
Mr. President: I purpose vot¬
ing against Bill No. 460 for substantial¬
ly the same reasons outlined In Mr.
Garland's statement. The margin be¬
tween the price fixed by this bill and
that furnished us as being a fair val¬
uation by the Real Estate Board and
our Property Assessors seems to m«
is entirely too great to warrant the
passage of this bill. If It were such
a nominal amount as might be repre¬
sented in a reasonable cost of con¬
demnation proceedings or the saving
ourselves from such incidental troubles
that might come from that, I might
be willing to pay a slightly higher
824
T
price than that; but when the price
Is very close to 25 per cent, higher
than the estimate of these real estate
men, so it is I do not feel constrained
to suppoK the bill.
And the bill, as amended in commit¬
tee and agreed to by council was
agreed to on second reading.
Mr. IKalone moved
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, I take the same
attitude as that taken by Mr. McArdle,
To be consistent I must also vote
against this bill. The valuation of this
property is the same as that fixed by
the Real Estate Board and the City As¬
sessors, and if these ordinances did not
have to be considered jointly I would
vote for this bill.
A suspension of the rule to al¬
low the third reading and final pas¬
sage of the bill. •
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pasa finally?”
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were:
Ayes-^Messrs.
Alderdice
Anderson
Herron
Noes—Messrs.
Garland
Ayes—6.
Noes—2.
Little
Malone
Winters (Pres’t.)
McArdle
And a majority of the votes of
council being in the affirmative, the
bill passed finally.
Also
Bill No. 461. An Ordinance
entitled, "An Ordinance providing for
the purchase of a certain lot or piece
of ground, together with any buildings
erected thereon, in the Eleventh Ward
(formerly the Nineteenth Ward) of
the City of Pittsburgh, from the Ani¬
mal Rescue League of Pittsburgh, a
corporation, located on Broad street
and running through to Kirkwood
itreet, in the City of Pittsburgh, at
a price of Ten thousand ($10,000.00)
dollars."
In Council, November 1, 1926, Bill
read and laid on the table.
Which was read a second time.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, in voting against
this bill, it is not upon the question
of price, but it is of necessity a part
of the other project. The valuation
M set forth in this bill, as .1 remem¬
ber, is substantially the valuation
placed upon this property by the Real
Estate Board and the Department of
Assessors.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I did not intend
to say anything on this bill, but to
make myself understood on this prop¬
osition I make this statement.
I, too, had hoped that this property
could be purchased for the appraisal
value fixed by the Real Estate Board,
but after a careful study of all the facts
in the case 1 am convinced that the
price fixed in the ordinance is reason¬
able and fair.
Last week, when these ordinances
were before Council for final action, a
communication from the East End
Trades Association, was received asking
for a hearing on the ordinances before
final action was taken. The request of
these gentlemen was granted, and the
time for the hearing fixed. Instead of
these petitioners coming to the hear¬
ing, they addressed a communication to
Council, in which it was stated that they
had sent out a ballot to all their mem¬
bers and asked them to indicate whether
they were for or against the site se¬
lected and the Association was governed
by the wishes of its members, and I
think the returns showed that a ma¬
jority were against the purchase of
these properties. I cannot remember
the figures, but I think the vote was 80
to 50 against. But since that time I
have been called up by Mr. Herbert
Sanders, who said that he offered
$30,000.00 for this property. His offer
was not accepted and he purchased
property very close to it at practically
the same figure that the City is asked
to pay for this property.
I had occasion to read in the news¬
papers lately, which called attention to
the fact that the Stevenson store at 606
Wood street, which was assessed for
$137,000.00 was sold for $325,000.00.
Now, what is the yard stick that is
going to measure these values? If we
condemned the property and 15 or 20
years from now had no further use for
it, the property goes back to the per¬
son or persons from whom it was con¬
demned. That is the advice given us by
the Law Department.
The question in this case is, do you
825
want a Are and police station in the
Kast Liberty District? Several sites
have been offered and rejected, and this
property seems to be the best adapted
for 'the purpose for which the City in¬
tends to put it. As to the valuation of
this property, there is just a slight dif¬
ference between what the owner wants
for it and what somebody else thinks it
is worth. The best guide to the future
is the past, when a short time ago the
value of a piece of property on Diamond
street was enhanced $50,000.00 by two
sales, all within the past two years. If
an enhancement of that property took
place within two years, what is going to
take place in the East Liberty District
where properties have jumed by leaps
and bounds? I have no argument about
the values placed upon this property by
the Real Estate Board. In many cases
their figures have not been accepted,
and I believe the Council is using Its
best judgment in passing upon this
question, and with the courage of our
convictions we must rise or fall by our
action. I do not believe any discredit
will befall Council because of its action,
but I can see a great deal of good re¬
sulting from our action today, because
we have wrestled with this problem for
the past seven yars, and arrived no¬
where.
Our experience with the Schlelein
property on East street taught us that
we cannot always condemn property
successfully. We were offered that
property for $15,000. The Real Estate
Board placed a valuation of $8,500.00.
We decided to have it condemned. The
result was we had to pay $19,152.00
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.

DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING
Pittsburgh, November 16, 1926.
president and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 235, ap¬
proved June '29, 1926, directing the De-
patment of City Planning to make a
survey of the hillsides and other
waste areas of the city and submit
to Council an estimate of the cost
of securing control of such areas by
purchase or lease, together with the
estimated cost of developing such
tracts by planting, reforesting, etc.,
the following progress report is here¬
with submitted.
Naturally the first area to be brought
to the attention of the City Planning
Commission for a study of this na-
839
ture was the Mt. Washington Hill¬
side. This area was given prominence
on account ot' the public improvements
in that vicinity including the Mt.
Washington Roadway, the acquisition
and improvement of properties for the
portal to the Liberty Tunnels, etc.
It was found upon investigation that
considerable parts of the Mt. Wash¬
ington Hillside has, at the present
time, a rather good growth of trees
and shrubs which indicates that the
refores-tration of this area is not an
impossible thing to do. If nature has
managed to do so wet] without any
help, surely with careful planting and
care, man can expedite this work and
produce satisfactory results. In any
planting the smoky conditions must be
considered and those trees and shrubs,
which have already snown their ability
to grow under such conditions, se¬
lected. ,
At present there are, at least, eight
varieties of trees growing on the hill¬
side, including poplars, locusts, buck¬
eyes, haws, willows, cherries, ashes,
etc.j and five or six varieties! of
the hardy and larger grooving shrubs.
There are other varieties that can be
grown on the hillside as evidenced by
the trees and shrubs which thrive
under cultivation by people living in
the immediate vicinity.
The hillside lends itself to a de¬
velopment similar to that in Grandview
Park with which it is directly con¬
nected. The total area of the hillside
that can be Improved between Grand¬
view Park on the east and the westerly
limits of the Mt. Washington road¬
way is about 72 acres of ground sur¬
face, measured on the slope. This is
greatly in excess of the horizontal
measurements shown on the map, but
is taking, as indicating, the actual
area that must be planted in order to
properly cover the hillside. Of this
total area about 21% is now covered
with trees and 11%% covered with
shrubs, the remainder being open area
covered with weeds or denuded of all
vegetable life.
In its study, the Commission has
divided this hillside into three sec¬
tions, <1) The area between the Castle
Shannon Incline and Grandview Park,
(2) The ravine between the Castle
Shannon Incline and Sycamore street
and the Monongahela Incline and (3)
The area west of the Monongahela
Incline,
The first area between the Castle
Shannon Incline and Grandview Park
contains about 14.7 acres. This area
is the portion recommended for Ira*
mediate consideratioru The assessed
valuation of the property included In
this area Is $12,208.00 and should be
acquired by the City fur an amount
not greatly in excess thereof. This
area is immediately adjacent to Grand*
view Park .and contains the bert tree
growth of the entire hillside, and seems
to be the most advantageous place to
start the improvement. It can be
planned and improved as an extension
to the park. Paths can be worked
through it with occa.®5ional outlooks
toward the city and its natural topo¬
graphy, with tlie proper planting, can
be made one of the most beautiful
spots of the City's Park System. The
lower part of this property, v/hich is
unusable for park purposes, can be
planted heavily with trees so as to
make .a large green mass when viewed
from the City, and the treatment along
the incline can be so worked out as
to give this condition an artistic ac¬
cent. The estimated cost of planting
thi.s section Is about $15,000.00.
For the first three years after plant¬
ing, sufficient mainteiiaiKe will br re¬
quired to prevent the choking of young
plants by high weeds, watering in time
of drought, mulching and replacing
dead plants, etc. For this area it
would require the services of about
two men between April and November.
After the first three years little if any
maintenance would be required.
The Comnii.'^sion will present, short*
ly, a report on the other two sections
of the Mt. Washingto.n Hillside and a
further report on the planting of the
waste areas on the upper side of Bige¬
low Boulevard and such other areas
as may be brought to its attention.
Tins report is prepared under the dk
rection of the General Plans Commit¬
tee of the Planning Commission. Mr.
F, R Babcock, Chairman, and approved
by the Commission at its regular meet¬
ing on October 20th, 1926.

Pittsburgh, November d9, 1926,
Mr. Daniel Winters,
President of Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dt;Hr Sir:
The Harry Greb Memorial Associa¬
tion has been organized with the fol¬
lowing officers:
Honorary Chairman, Mayor Charles
H. Kline; Chairman, Rody P. Marshall;
Vice-Chairmen, E. A. Dolan, Ollie
Moran; Treasurer, Wallace Borland;
Secretary, C. W. Isles; Executive Com¬
mittee, Harry Beegle, T, A. Dolan,
Jos. N. Mackrell, Roy D. Schooley,

Ollie Moran, Edward Deasy, James J.
Coyne, John J, Dean, James Mason,
Daniel Winters, P. J. Sullivan, John
A. Staley, Jr., and Regis M. Welsh.
It Is proposed to raise money by
popular subscription to erect a monu¬
ment to Harry Greb who brought great
credit to the City of Pittsburgh.
It is the unanimous seiiso of the
Association that the monument should
be erected in Friendship Park, which
is within sight of Harry’s birthplace
and where he spent practlcaily ail of
mF life. At the initial meeting it was
the unanimous opinion that an ordi¬
nance should be put in Council ap-
841
proving this location. The reason for
this was that the Association did not
wish to represent to the public that
the monument was to go in Friend¬
ship Park witliout having some author¬

Horse-Drawn Vehicles on
Smithdeld Street Bridge.
To the President and Members,
of City Council.
Gentlemen:
In connection with your considera¬
tion of the ordinance to prohibit horse-
drawn vehicles on the Smithfleld street
bridge between 5 and 6 P. M.,
following facts brought out by actual
checks are presented for your con¬
sideration:
1. For vehicles in southbound di¬
rection, checks showed an average of
214 seconds required for horse-drawn
vehicles to cross portion of bridge
having steel plates on road surface.
When no horse-drawn vehicles at all
were permitted on the bridge, the re¬
quired time was 68 seconds, or SLIGHT¬
LY LESS THAN ONE-THIRD the
lengtii of time required for ho^^^
drawn vehicles.
870
2. Checks on four widely separated
week-days indicate that between 5
and 6 P. M. there were at no time
over 14 horse-drawn vehicles moving
in cither direction on the bridge. The
range of the number of vehicles was
from 6 to 14 during the hour men-
tionfd. This shows that AN EX-
TREMKLY SMALL NUMBER OF PER-
SO^VS AUE HANDICAPPED BY THE
PROVISSION.
3, Checks of street cars .show prac¬
tically a cuttiiig-in-half of the schedule
delays after the horse-drawn vehicles
were prohibited compared with delays
before. From being on an average of
5 to 23 minutes late, the street cars
wore operating, after the elimination
of ho»*se-drawn vehicles, only an aver¬
age of 6 to 12 minutes late ("late"
meaning behind scheduled time).
It Is felt these figures will be use¬
ful to you in your consideration of
the measure.
Very truly yours,
BURTON \V. MARSH,
■Secretary.

REPORTS OP SPECIAL
COMMITTEES
Mr. Malone presented from special
committee.
No. 2505.
Pittsburgh, December 6, 1926.
To the President and
Members of Council.
Goiitlemen;
Your sub-committee on playground
location in the Hill District desires to
submit the following report:
Shortly after their aipoin-tment the
committee with numerous citizens and
civic organizations of the Hill Dia*
trict viewed the following plots o(
ground—Franklin street, Elm street
and Hazel street, in the rear of the
Franklin, Public School; Junilla street
in the rear of Wylie avenue and the
old Terra Cotta Works on Bedford ave¬
nue.
No detinite rocommendatiou was made
liecause of a suggestion that a joint
iiieeting be hold with your sub-com¬
mittee and a sub-committee of iho
Board of Public Education. Quito a
time elapsed before these coratnitlees
were brought together.
F’inally on Thursday, December 2,
1926, your sub-comniittce and tlie sub¬
committee of the Board of Public Edu¬
cation, conissting of Dr. A. L. Lewln,
Dr. C, B. Connelley and Dr. George
W. Gerwig, held a joint meeting and
discussed each phase of the Hill Dis¬
trict playground situation, and the re¬
sult of the meeting was about as fol¬
lows:
That both committees would recom¬
mend that the Council should purchase
the plot of ground knovqi as the “Old
Terra Cotta Works" and owned by the
National Fireproofing Company on Bed¬
ford avenue at Shafer street, and that
the sub-committee of the Board of
Public tiducation would recommend to
the Board of Public Education the ac¬
quisition of the ground at P'ranklla
Elm and Hazel streets in the rear of
tne P'rar.iviin School. It might be stat¬
ed here that the Department of As¬
sessors of ti'.o City of Pittsburgh have
placed a value of $5.50 per square
foot, including land and buildings on
this property, making a total valua¬
tion of $117,463.00.
Both committees believe that it
would be better to have the Franklin
street site owned exclusively by the
Board of Public Education, and both
committees W'ere unanimous In the
thought that the City should purchase
the old Terra Cotta plot. There Is
878
aK ordinancs now ponding- in Council
(or the purchase of the Terra Cotta
plot at a value of $b6,000, and there
is J81,i)00 set aside from the 1919 bond
Issue which should be able to take
care of the purchase* of this ground
and properly grade and equip same for
a major athletic field and playground.
Your sub-committee therefore recom¬
mends the purchase of the property
owned by the National Fireproofing
Company on Bedford avenue at Shafer
street.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN S. HERRON,

CITY OF PITTSBURGH, PENN A.
December 2, 1926.
To the Finance Committee,
City Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
Referring to motion adopted by the
Flnince Committee requesting the As¬
sessors to furnish a report showing
total area and give valuations on prop¬
erty at Logan street, Elm street, Frank¬
lin street ami Hazel street; also area
and valuation on property through
Haicl street to Franklin street.
We have examined the property em*
braced Iti this request and report as
follow?: The parcel contains an area
21,357 square feet, on which we
have placed a value of $5.50 per square
foot, including land and buildings; to¬
tal valuation $117,463.
Sales information in this section
ranges in value from $4.00 per square
foot to $7 50 per square foot. The
difference in unit is due to the type
of construction on the lots. The gen¬
eral neighborhood shows a decline in
value, rather than an increase, due
to the changes taking place in the
locality and the obsolete buildings that
occupy the land.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS C. McMAHON,
Chief Assessor.
Which was read.
And on motion of Mr. Maloue, the
reports were referred to the Committee
on Finance.

The only difference of opinion seems to
be in the method of such control.
Most members of Congress hesitate
to put such wide authority in the un¬
controlled discretion of the Secretary
of Commerce.
Faithfully yours,

DEPARTMENT OP THK ART
COMMISSION
Pittsburgh, December 9, 1921.
The Council of the
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request for an
opinion concerning Bill Mo. 1593, 192$
—a request by The Sons of Colum¬
bus of America for permis,iion to u«
the turf island in the center of Schen¬
ley Plaza as the sice for a memorial
monument to Christopher Columbus—
the Art Commission, after careful con-
I
sideralion of the question, begs to ad¬
vise as follows:
1. That, as now laid out, the Schen-
ley Plaza serve as a formal entrance
to the park and as a setting for the
mon’imental fountain erected by popular
subscription and at considerable cost
aa a memorial to the donor of the
park. The erection of any monument
in the location indicated would destroy
both these functions,
2. Changes in the aspect of prop-
orlles adjacent to the Plaza now in
process or prospect—the erection of
the Cathedral of Learning and of the
Cemral Administration Building of the
Hoard of Education, for example—,
and the possibility of a modification
of the Plaza plan to satisfy new
boulevard requirements and traffic ad-
ju.Htments, make allocation of a site
to any monument or structure in the
Haza area exceedingly unw'ise at the
present time.
3. The Art Commission is making
a study of the whole subject with these
facts in mind and, since it is charged
by law with the preservation of the
amenities in, and the proper embel¬
lishment of, parks, public squares,
open spaces, etc. (Charter Supplement
183. May VZ, 1911), it has decided to
• Tit^Ttain no propo,sals of additions to
the Plaza development until after the
cnanges m environs and careful study
of the siibje'.:t from all points of view
shall have progressed sufficiently far
to warrant action which will not jeop¬
ardize but rather ensure a maximum
of beauty, dignity, and public conveni-
eace in the Plaza and park entrance.
It Is perhaps, unnecessary to say
that the Art Commission is thorough¬
ly in sympathy with the plan to erect
in artistic and worthy monument to
•'hriaiophor Columbus on some appro¬
priate site, and that the action above
^et forth is without prejudice to the
seneral idea of the project contem¬
plated In Bill No. '1593.
Very respectfully yours,
For the Art Commission,
EDWARD B. LEE,
President.
GEORGE M. P. BAIRD,
Executive Sec'y.

Augu-st 10, 1926.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Referring to Bill No. 1593, “Com¬
munication from the Sons of Colum¬
bus of America, asking permission to
erect a monument to Christopher Co¬
lumbus, in S Chen ley Park on the cir¬
cular tract of land between the two
entrances on Forbfes street,” beg to
advise that while we would be glad to
have this monument erected and also
be honored by such a memorial, we
cannot approve the location, as sug¬
gested, but are willing to consider the
location of this monument in some
other part of -the park, where it will
be in prominent view to all the peo¬
ple who visit the park.
The reasons for negative report on
this are: First—it would obstruct
the view of Mrs. Schenley’s Memorial
Fountain; and Second—it would spoil
the present attraction of the landscape
effect at this location.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.
Mr. Malone moved
That the communication and
reports be received and filed, and copy
of reports to be sent to petitioner,
calling attention especially to the fact
that both the Department of Public
Works and the Art Commission ap¬
prove of the monument, but object to
its location.
Which motion prevailed.
Also
No. 2566. Resolution authoriz¬
ing the Mayor and Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works of the City
of Pittsburgh to turn over to the
County Commissioners of the County
of Allegheny all bridges crossing the
Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Riv¬
ers, which are now under the control
of the City of Pittsburgh.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Finance.
Mr, McArdle moved
That the Minutes of Council,
at a meeting held on Monday, Decem¬
ber 6. 1926, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And there being no further business
before the meeting, the Chair declared
Council adjourned.

Realizing, as we do, the necessity for
the strictest economy in preparing the

hearty desire to co-operate in every
way possible so that the greatest re¬

activities of the Department, wo have
submitted to Council a number of sup¬
plemental requests, not contained In

>*hC'Uld be familiar with, and whiU we

CITY OF PHILADELPHIA
Office of the Mayor
November 18th, 1926.
Hon. Charles H. Kline, Mayor,
and the Honorable Members of
the Pittsburgh Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
I wish at this time to express on
behalf of the citizens of Philadelphia
to the people of Pittsburgh through
their distinguished Mayor, the Honor¬
able Councilmen and the efficient Ses-
qui-Centennial committee of public
spirited citizens which planned the
building and exhibits, our heartfelt
thanks and appreciation for the part
they have taken to make this greatest
World’s Fair in commemoration of the
Declaration of American Independence,
an epoch-making event in American
history.
I know of no other event during the
life of the Sesqui-Centennial Interna¬
tional Exposition that has given me
more pleasure than the participation
of Pittsburgh. Although many Na¬
tions and si.ster States have erected
903
imposing structures in the shape of
beautiful buildings on this site, the
City of Pittsburgh is the only muni¬
cipality in the world which is repre¬
sented here by a separate building.
From an architectural standpoint and
from one of beauty, the Pittsburgh
Building is one of the most admired
on the grounds.
The Pittsburgh Building at the Ex¬
position exemplifies the true spirit
of your wonderful City, Hundreds
of thousands of people have visited
the building and viewed the motion
pictures depicting your ‘ social, educa¬
tional, industrial and commercial life.
Your City has been advertised to its
great advantage throughout the length
and breadth of this land. You have
indeed cast your bread upon the wa¬
ters which will return to you abund¬
antly in the years to come.
I am very much pleased because I
have many warm personal friends in
the City of Pittsburgh, and I feel that
the construction of this building and
the activities of Pittsburgh people in
exposition affairs have strengthened
the bond of friendship which has ex¬
isted for more than a century and a
half between the people living along
the shores of the Monongahela and
Allegheny Rivers, and those residing
between and along the Delaware and
Schuylkill Rivers.
The people of Philadelphia appreciate
this practical display of friendship, and
it is ms” earnest hope that some time
net far distant we may be able to
reciprocate in a way which will ex¬
press our gratitude.
"VVith kindest personal regards, be¬
lieve me.
Very truly yours,
W. FREELAND KENDRICK,
Mayor.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Dec. 20. 1926.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Wte have adjusted our finances In the
Bureau of Highways and Sewers unlU
we have reached our limitation. It is
the desire, if possible, to keep the em¬
ployes of this Buieau at work for the
balance of the year, weather conditions
permitting, and In order to do this,
we will need approximately $17,000.00.
making a reasonable allowance for
some bad days when the men musr
be off necessarily by reason of weather
conditions.
We have strained every point pos¬
sible to meet the conditions and to
keep these men at work, which we
have sucf'eeded in doing up to and in¬
cluding December 18, il926, but if we
are to keep them on as suggested, It
will require approximately $17,000.00.
and we have no resources in this De¬
partment from which this amount may
be had.
AVe should like very much to have
this matter given consideration, and
advise as to your pleasure in the mat¬
ter, and if possible, provide funds to
retain these men for the balance of the
year,
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.

CITY OF PITTSBURGH
Department of Public Safety
Office of the Director
December 20, 1926.
President and Members.
Council, City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
We attach hereto statement of Re¬
ceipts and Expenditures of the Fire-
men'i Pension Fund of the City of
Pittsburgh, Pa. for the period from
January 1, 1926 to December 1, 1926,
and which does not include the pay¬
ment of any pensions or other expenses
due by the Fund for the month of
hectimber, 1)26, as December expenses
will not be due until December 31st,
but are a part of the expenses for the
current fiseal year. We believe that
your attention should be called to
the matter at the present time owing
to tinantial conditions.
You will note by the report that the
appropriation by the City of Pitts¬
burgh for the year 1928, and the
amount received by the Pension Fund
in accordance therewith was J13T),00,0.00.
In addition to the appropriations
made by the City of Pittsburgh, other
receipts properly applicable to the pay¬
ment of peisions .show as follow.^:
Interest .$ 2,175.10
Fines paid by firemen. 1,514.00
Reinstatement fees .-. 20.00
Balance from Firemen’s Dis¬
ability Fund, to close ac¬
count . 61.05
Appropriation from City . 135,000.00
Total . $138,770.15
You wiU note that expenses proper¬
ly chargeable to said Fund are as fol-
low.s;
Pensions .$149,804.32
Secretary’s Salary . 550,00
Printing . 60.00
Total ...$150,414.32
The amount necessary to pay
pensions and secretary’s
salary for the month of
December is estimated at.4 14,150.00
Total expenses for year ..$164,564.32
The expense account also shows a
return of dues of $124.17 to employes
rho severed their connection with the
Bureau of Fire and is not considered in
lh« above figures, as these amounts
were returned to men of their in¬
dividual amounts paid as dues in ac-
<*ordance with the City Ordinance.
Therefore, the estimated ex¬
penses for the year 1926,
are ..$164,564.32
Receipts not including dues
from employes amount to.. 138,770.15
Expense-S, therefore, will ex¬
ceed receipts by .$ 25,794.17
There have been received dues from
employes in the sum of $49,141.18, not
Included In the above statement of re¬
ceipts.
Whether the Board of Managers is
to apply to the payment of operating
expenses the amounts received as dues
from the salaries of the boiteflciaries
or whether such monies paid as dues
are to be set aside as a Sinking Fund
for the protection of the amount paid
by such individuals is a policy which
the Board of Managers believes should
be decided by City Council and not
by the Beard. The Ordinance creating
the Pension Fund is silent on this
subject. If the latter policy is to be
adopted, City Council should make pro¬
vision for the payment of the sum of
$25,794.17. or thereabouts to meet tne
reuuirements for the remaining portion
of the year 1926. The Board of Man¬
agers desires to be advivsed ojq^ this
subject before the claims for DecehT-
ber 1926. are paid.
The attached statement does not
show any amounts received and paid
during the present year for death bene¬
fits, as such amounts are paid by the
beneficiaries direct and not by the use
of any City Appropriation.
A complete financial statement for
the year 1926, will be furnished City
Council early in the year 1927, and
will also include the amounts received
from the men for death claims and the
payments made for such in accord¬
ance with the City Ordinance.
Yours very truly,
JAMES M. CI^ARK,
President, Firemen’s Pension Fund.

MRS. ENOCH RAUH.
I Director.
Which was read, received and filed
and ordered printed In full.
Mr. Anderson arose and said
Mr. President: If there was any
doubt in my mind on Tuesday last
in regard to the passage of this Ordi¬
nance, I certainly am more opposed to
the passage of the ordinance today
than I was on Tuesday. After In¬
specting N.>. 1 Police station work
done by the City Architect's Office, I
do not think there Is anything In the
Mayview Institution as complicated
as one floor of No. 1 Police Station.
I stated on Tuesday my objection to
paying six per cent, to outside archi¬
tects when I feel that the City Archi¬
tect's Office is capable of carrying on
this work.
What have we in Mayview? A lot
of poor, unfortunate people, doing
nothing more than existing. They can¬
not appreciate architectural beauty. The
simpllest sort of buildings should be
constructed at this institution and they
should be planned by City architect on
recommendation of the Superintendent
of the institution. If the City Archi¬
tect has carried on nearly $1,000,000
of work, some of it completed and
some under construction, and this Coun¬
cil has shown confidence in this office,
I do not see why it is necessary to go
outside and pay 190,000 or any part
of that money to an outside architect.
I do not agree with Mrs. Rauh, and
she insinuated that the reason for
recommending an architect, is that we
do not have an organization in the
City Architect’s Office to carry on this
work. I am not willing at this time
to agree that Mrs. Rauh or anyone
else connected with the Department
of Public Welfare knows more about
Ihe construction business than I do
myself. Just last week this Council
went on record approving plans and
syecilications Dorn tnis office to the
amount* of $250,000.00. I cannot for
the life of me see why the depart¬
ment would recommend the passage
r*f the ordinance. I do not think it
is the right thing to do. The mem-
b<r^ of Council should visit anu in¬
spect some of the work that the Archi¬
tect's Office has done in the past. I
do not think there would be a doubt
in their minds that this work could
not be carried on by the City Arcbi-
lett's Office.
I think Mrs. Rauh is sincere, and in
fact 1 know she is. There is nothing
that she ever requested of the Coun¬
cil that did not have my hearty sup¬
port She tells the Council she wants
this work done as soon as possible,
and it seems she lost confidence in the
Architect when he told her that he
cou’.d have these plans prepared for
her within two or three weeks.
1 have also spoken to the gentleman
and he assured me that he can carry
'>n the work just as well as any archi¬
tect 1 do not know any reason up
to the present time, or any objection
by the members of Council, or the
department, outside Mrs. Rauh, that
be has not the organization. There is
not an architect in town with an or-
gairlzation of this character because his
organization is built up by the amount
of work he has, and that goes for
contractors as well as anybody con¬
nected with building construction.
A» 1 said before. I made an inspec¬
tion of the new police station, which
turned over to the City the other
day. Mrs. Rauh or anyone else who
knows anything about construction will
agree with the architect that there is
more compUcalions existing in one
Boor of No. 1 Police Station than there
are in the entire in.stitutlonal build¬
ings at Mayview. What do we need
at Mayview? We need rooms similar
to this Council Chamber, largo, well
ventilated and well lighted, for the
people to sleep in. The building should
be well lighted and sanitary. That is
all we can do for those poor unfor¬
tunate people.
We have the highest priced Superin¬
tendent in the City Service at May-
view. The architect, whoever he may
be, must be guided by the man on the
job. His thought and idea is going
to be carried out in regard to the con¬
struction of these buildings. That ap¬
plies to the other buildings contem¬
plated to be con.structed there. As far
as the nurses’ new homes are con¬
cerned, all will be similar to the other
five or six buildings there now. .
I cannot see even in view of the re¬
port of Mrs. Rauh why $96,000 should
be paid over to an architect, and why
we cannot do this character of work
with our own city architect. If the city
architect cannot do this character of
work, he cannot do work of any char¬
acter. As I s§iid before, it would be a
detriment to an architect, to recommend
anything but the simplest sort of
building. That is what we need and
that makes our problem that inufch
more simple. I do not know of any
problem coming before Council that is
easier, and that is the way to handle it.
I stated in committee meeting the
other day that to my knowledge six
per cent, is not paid when the cost
exceeds $1,000,000, and I repeat that
statement. I have talked to some archi¬
tects and members of this association,
and they told me they take whatever
they get. On some of the buildings
just completed in the downtown sec¬
tion I am told the architects received
as low as three per cent, and on some
new under construction they are re¬
ceiving four per cent. That, of course,
does not concern the Council as much
as the Council sitting year after year
making setups for the Architect’s Of¬
fice in the Department of Public Safe¬
ty .vnd tnen say or have the Director
of the Department of Public Welfare
say they have not the organization to
carry on the work. I do not think
any member of Council has any doubt
that they cannot carry on this work,
and If that is the truth, and I have
here an itemized statement of the
w’ork that they have done which
amounts to nearly $1 000.000, and there
is a footnote on this statement which
says that this work was done for
tw'o per cent.; and I do not think any
909
member of Council should vote to pay
any more for this work.
If the City Architect cannot carry
on the work he should be relieved of
his position. That is not my thought,
however. I think he can do the worh..
He has done it in the past
I say to this Council that this is
the easiest problem that has ever come
before it in regard to finances. The
bill should go back to committee and
let the city architect tell the Council
and Mrs. Rauh that he can carry on
this work. Instead of setting up
$96,000 for the work, we should go
out and take bids like they do on
every other line of city work, and then
have the Director or the Mayor or
whoever makes the award, choose the
lowest responsible bidder.
I do not think there is a man in
this Council that has not given this
careful consideration. I know they
have given this building game a great
deal of thought because we have done
quite a lot of construction in the last
15 or 20 years. But this is a propo¬
sition where we are saving money for
the people, and if the people of the
City of Pittsburgh lose confidence In
public officials then it vrill be a long
time before we carry another bond
issue and have money of this char¬
acter to spend.
I am not ready to say Mrs. Rauh or
anyone connected with her department
is going to tell me that this is the
right thing to do. I know she is
honest and sincere and there is no
woman in the world who has given
more to purposes of this character
than Mrs. Rauh, and I do not think
there is- a man in Council who appre¬
ciates her efforts in that direction more
than I do; but I say she does not know
anything about construction and who¬
ever has advised her that this is the
proper thing to do and whoever has
told her that we have not an oigani-
zation large enough to carry on this
work, has misinformed her. I know
that is not the case. The members of
Council have visited buildings the City
Architect has planned and supervised
and they know as well as T do that the
simplest kind of a structure Is the
kind of a building that Is most suit¬
able for the people whom we house
at May view.
Therefore, Mr. President, I think this
bill should go back to committee and
If the City Architect has done the
work for the city in the past, he can
do this work for two per cent, I can¬
not see any reason for paying six per
cent. I object to any a?nount being
put in, especially when you know that
work of this character can be done
for two or three per cent, and is be¬
ing done every day in the United
States.

spection of these two streets, concur In

veys, on the vacation of these two

Yours very truly,

An Ordinance vacating Cremo
street, in the Twenty-second Ward,
between the southerly line of Hypo¬
lite street and the Allegheny river.
An Ordinance vacating Itasco

Pittsburgh, Pa.,
December l7th, 1926.
Mr. Daniel Winters, President,
Pittsburgh Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir:
We notice In the newspapers that
ordinances have been presented In
Council to vacate Itasco street and
Cremo street, both in the Twenty-
second Ward, and both leading from
Hypolite street to the Allegheny river.
The Pittsburgh Builders’ Exchange
is of the opinion that no streets lead¬
ing to the rivers should be vacated be¬
cause we feel that with the great
waterways surrounding Pittsburgh, they
918
I
will within a very short time be used
as u means of transportation and if
you vacate the streets leading to these
rivers you will materially hinder the
progress of the City.
We would ask that you give these
ordinances very careful consideration
and after doing so, we feel certain
you will agree with us, that these
streets should not be vacated.
Thanking you in advance for your
consideration, we beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
PITTSBURGH BUILDERS
EXCHANGE.
Robert K. Cochrane,
Secretary,
Which was read, received and filed.

No. 2622.
Dec. 20, 1926.
President and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
Supplementing my letter of Decem¬
ber 16, 1926, referring to Bills No.
2544 and 2546, vacating Cremo street
and Itasco street respectively, beg to
Advise that I concurred in the Com¬
mittee on Public Service and’ Surveys
recommending to vacate these two
streets in accordance with their action
of December 14, 1926, but before de¬
ciding to concur in their recommen¬
dation, I was under the impression
that these streets did not run tc the
Allegheny River, and therefore sug¬
gest that these ordinances carry a
vacation only to the north line of the
right-of-way of the railroad company.
This supplemental report is made in
view of the fact that the closing of
these streets to the river might com¬
promise the City in the matter of the
river front improvement project that
is now under way, and believe that
the vacation of the streets from Hypo-
Itte street to the north line of the
raHroavl company property will meet
the requirements of the petitioner. 1,
therefore, suggest that this matter be
referred back to the Committee for
further consideration.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD G. LANG,
Director.
IVbich was read, received and filed.
Mr. EngliBh arose and said
Mr. President, That second let¬
ter is not necessary. The City Solicitor
just came from Director Lang and
the petitioner is going to file a bond
to carry out that suggestion.
The Chair said
Do we understand that Mr.
Waldsehmidt has a stipulation to put
in this ordinance?
Mr. English said
Mr. Waldsehmidt has arranged
for the filing of a stipulation or bond
by the petitioner.
The Chair said
Will someone say that for the
record? It should come from the City
Solicitor.
Mr. Charles A, Waldsehmidt, City
Solicitor, said
Mr. President and Members of
Council: The stipulation by the pe¬
titioners waiving any claims for prop¬
erty taken or damged in the future
for the sea walls will be filed with the
City Solicitor, the Mayor and the De¬
partment of Public Works.
The Chair said
Is that your understanding,
Mr. Beatty?
Mr. Lee C. Beatty, Attorney, repre¬
senting the Point Improvement Com¬
pany and Mr. P'. F. Nicola, said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen
of Council: I understand the City
has in mind at some future time the
construction of a sea wall to go along
the river, and the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works thinks that
the owners of the property which
w'ould be included within the lines of
these vacated streets should not come
in at that time and claim damages for
the sea wall or for any structure which
might be built upon this portion of
the streets. Mr, Nicola, who is the
largest abutting owner, is willing to
file such a stipulation.
The Chair said
Then it is agreed between you
and Mr. Waldsehmidt, representing the
City, that such a stipulation will be
filed.
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read

To the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh,
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the Pittsburgh Art
Commission held on Tuesday, Decem¬
ber 21, 1926, the following action wae
taken in re a proposal of the Westing-
house Memorial Association to erect a
memorial to George Westinghouse, Esq.,
at the- south end of the Lily Pool in
Schenley Park.
“Resolved, that it is the sense of
the Art Commission (1) that the site
proposed for a George YVestinghouse
memorial be approved;
(2) That it should be recommended
to the donors that additional studies
of the project be undertaken and sub¬
mitted to this Commission during their
progress;
(3) That there shall also be the
customary submissions of architectural
and sculptural features after a general
scheme has been approved by this
commission; and
(4) That the Commission believes
the process of additional study here
recommended — particularly after the
selection of an able sculptor has been
made—may result in modification of
the general scheme or even of the
Bite choice. In that event the Com¬
mission will be glad to consider any
revision of the project.”

Council, City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
I return herewith, without executive
approval, Bill No. 292, an Ordinance
amending the Zoning Ordinance, for
the following reasons:
This Bill is for the personal benefit
of the owner of property in this
locality, fronting on the northerly side
of Hobart street and the easterly side
of Wlghtman street, and is not a
benefit to the community at large.
It does not apply to the advantage
of property generally in this com¬
munity, and may affect adversely the
property at large in this vicinity.
That which is authorized by this
Bill may be detrimental to the general
development of this community, and
U discriminatory,
I believe that any change in the
Zoning Ordinance should be for the
general benefit of the community and
not for individual exploitation.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES H. KLINE,
Mayor.
'Which was read.
Also
Bill No. 292. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance amending an
ordinance entitled, ‘An Ordinance regu¬
lating and restricting the location of
trades and industries and the location
of buildings designed for specified uses
and regulating and limiting the height
and bulk of buildings hereafter erect¬
ed or altered, and regulating and de¬
termining the area of yards, courts
and other open space.s in connection
with buildings hereafter erected or
altered, and establishing the bound¬
aries of districts for the said pur¬
poses; conferring certain powers upon
the Superintendent of the Bureau of
Building Inspection; providing for a
Board of Appeals, and imposing penal¬
ties,' approved August 9, 1923, by
changing the Zone Map, sheet Z- O-
E30 so as to change from an ‘A’ Resi¬
dence Use District to a Commercial
Use District, all that certain property
located in the Fourteenth Ward, front¬
ing 200 feet on the northerly side of
Hobart street and 227.84 feet on the
easterly side of Wightman street;
being lots 55 and 56 in Schenley
Heights Plan of Lots, laid out by the
Bellefield Land Company.”
In Council, Dec. 29, 1926, Bill read,
rule suspended, read a second and
third times, and finally passed.
Which was read.
Mr. Garland moved
That the communication and
bill be laid over until the next meet¬
ing of council.
Which motion prevailed.
And at the request of Mr. English,
the Chair instructed the clerk to send
a copy of the Mayor's communication
to each of the absent memibers for
their information.
And there being no further business
before the meeting, the Chair declared
Council ad.iourned.
